We are looking for committed clinical support workers to join our team!
The Young People’s Unit (YPU) provides intensive inpatient assessment, care and treatment for young people (aged 12-18) from across the North of Scotland who are experiencing major psychiatric disorders. We offer a broad range of therapeutic interventions, including individual, group and family work. This regional inpatient service is provided in a purpose-built unit on the CAMHS site at 17 Dudhope Terrace, Dundee.
