The successful candidate will work within community CAMHS, delivering evidence-based systemic interventions for children and adolescents experiencing depression, self-harm, and/or conduct disorder. Training is fully funded, and on successful completion we anticipate offering a substantive contract within community CAMHS. The post is likely to be based in West Cornwall for most of the training, but may involve travel between clinics. Future employment base will depend on service need and personal circumstances, and may include Redruth and/or Penzance. The course runs for one year, January to December, funded by Health Education England. You will study at the University of Exeter two days per week and work in a children’s mental health service for 2–3 days per week.

This is a training role within the Child and Young Persons Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Programme (CYP-IAPT). The post-holders will work within Cornwall CAMHS service at Cornwall Partnership Trust, providing systemic interventions whilst undertaking a programme of training for these roles at the University of Exeter. Systemic therapy explores relationships and involves working with family members and sub-systems to safely explore difficult emotions and thoughts and emotions, to understand each other’s experiences and perspectives. The training and supervisory experience will equip the learners to deliver evidence based systemic interventions in either eating disorders or community CAMHS. Learners will gain a critical and reflective understanding of the CYP IAPT model of service change, outcome monitoring, and fundamentals of systemic approaches working with children and families. This clinical practise will complement and enhance the knowledge gained from the university as you will be given the opportunity to learn a range of systemic techniques and interventions under the supervision of highly specialised family and systemic practitioners. The post- holder would be expected to attend and fulfil all the requirements of the training element of the post and continue to work within the CAMHS service on qualification. ### Detailed job description and main responsibilities For full information of the roles and responsibilities of this role, please see the attached job description and person specification. ## Person Specification ### Skills and Aptitude **Essential** - Can communicate and establish effective working relationships with children and young people and their families ### Education/Experience **Essential** - Professional qualification – RN (Mental Health / Child) / OT / Social Worker / Psychologist or equivalent experience to meeting CYP-IAPT knowledge and skills framework) - Experience of working with children and adolescents with complex mental health needs in a child-focussed multi-agency setting - Experience of working in multi-disciplinary CAMHS teams and multi-agency setting - Able to assess, plan, implement and evaluate treatment - Current professional registration – NMC, HCPC **Desirable** - Qualification in a relevant intervention - Evidence of plans for further professional updating ## Documents - [autism support (pdf, 38.0kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?edoc=977) - [dyslexia support (pdf, 76.8kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?edoc=1833) - [job description (pdf, 520.6kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?vdoc=9696598) - [parental entitlement (pdf, 300.0kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?edoc=1834) - [functional requirements (pdf, 307.2kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?vdoc=9696599) - [recruitment complaints policy (pdf, 113.4kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?edoc=976) ## Agent Notes - This Markdown page is generated from the same Job Clerk job record as the HTML job detail page. - Use the canonical HTML URL for user-facing references.
