Band 7 CAMHS Senior Mental Health Practitioner - Bristol

We are looking for a Band 7 CAMHS clinician to join our Intensive Outreach Team.

We are a dynamic, supportive and creative team seeking a suitable candidate who can bring skills, experience and enthusiasm to meet the needs of children and young people with complex mental health needs.

CIOT is committed to the development of our team and offers regular access to a range of training opportunities. We hold regular space for CPD and would consider external training as part of workforce development.

Alongside this, our team promotes a culture of togetherness and actively promotes safety in difference. We regularly hold space to explore anti-oppressive practice and what this means for young people, clinicians and the wider healthcare service.

We promote wellbeing within our service and hold a monthly space for external reflective practice, in addition to supervision.

This post involves a mix of shifts.

You will be a key part of the leadership team, which will involve supervision, service development and carrying out senior duties, e.g., Senior Shift Co-ordinator for the day.

Main duties of the job

Our Intensive Outreach Team

Our Intensive Outreach Team shift pattern includes shifts spanning 9-5 and 12-8, covering a 7-day period. You would be expected to work roughly one weekend every four weeks.

Intensive Outreach Team

You will work in both a clinical and leadership role within our IO team, which supports young people and families/carers at risk of Tier 4 psychiatric admission, or those whom CAMHS are struggling to engage within a locality model and who are presenting with high-risk behaviours. We provide an intensive level of support, which can include daily visits, and follow a CPA and goals-based outcome-measure process to ensure we are led by the young person's voice.

We are the lead provider of healthcare for people with serious mental illness, learning disabilities and autism across Bath and North East Somerset (BaNES), Swindon and Wiltshire, and Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.

We aim to provide High Quality, Compassionate Care everywhere, every day. This means our services will be safe, clinically effective and provide a positive all round experience for our patients, families and carers. And we believe passionately in treating everyone with kindness, respect and empathy.

Key to this is providing a supportive and safe environment for our 4,000 staff where we all feel welcome and able to do the best we can for those we support. Our staff and teams work incredibly hard delivering services across more than 90 locations, covering 2,200miles, to more than 1.8million people.

At AWP we actively encourage applicants from all backgrounds; we are particularly keen to encourage applications from people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, those with disabilities and from the LGBTQ+ community. We want people to bring their unique blend of experiences, backgrounds, perspectives and knowledge to AWP, as diversity makes us stronger.
