Summary
Working with young people is both challenging and demanding but also incredibly fun and rewarding. Working in CAMHS is an opportunity to work with young people at the start of their mental health journey to help them build a positive outlook for their future. As a clinical charge nurse you will take a role in planning clinical care, being part of the nursing team to employ your pre-existing clinical skills to help provide a therapeutic and safe environment. You will be an individual who would like to develop skills in an acute mental health setting and possess a calm and contained demeanor. You will develop confidence in assessing risk on a formal and informal basis and be able to balance this effectively with acting in the least restrictive way, fostering a safe yet therapeutic service. You will have a solid working knowledge of relevant legal frameworks i.e. MHA (1983), Capacity Act (2005) and the Children Act (1989). You must be a qualified RMN, LD or Childrens Nurse with the desire to work in an in-patient mental health setting. It is essential to have an understanding of the challenges that face nurses caring for young people with mental health difficulties today and be able to demonstrate resilience and empathy. Most important to us is that you have a commitment and passion to want to listen and support young people in a variety of creative ways. You will have the opportunity to continue enhancing your existing skills and become a specialist in CAMHS through our excellent learning and development opportunities which will include both leadership and managerial skills but also clinical interventions. We are interested in recruiting nurses who are keen to work within CAMHS services and are not solely looking for candidates with prior CAMHs experience but who possess sound clinical skills and who demonstrate an interest of developing their career within CAMHS. We actively encourage professional development and support our staff to take on additional training and academic qualification. Depending of relevance to the service there is the possibility of training or education being paid or by the organization.
