The successful candidate will work as part of a multidisciplinary team, contributing to and delivering a high standard of care to the children and young people who are referred to our service. The successful candidate will be committed to providing high quality direct support in all aspects of care, as part of an agreed care plan, which will involve being able to adapt oneself to a range of different approaches both with and without direct supervision.

This post is full time, offering 37.5 hours per week, working to provide a service within the community that operates 5 days a week, Monday to Friday 9am till 5pm. The main base will be located within the Aranthrue Centre, where we conduct most of our appointments. However, as a service, we do provide care that would see the successful post holder travelling to different locations such as the young person’s home or school.
An ability to carry out assigned tasks effectively in a busy environment is required and the post holder requires to demonstrate an ability/willingness to work towards achieving the competencies identified in ‘Essential CAMHS.
Regular clinical supervision will be provided . The post holder will actively participate in education and learning which are both essential and desirable to the role and indeed, with one’s own continual personal development.
Previous experience in a caring environment/role is extremely advantageous alongside an ability to work with people and as part of a multi-disciplinary team. The post holder requires an ability to work unsupervised and therefore hold effective written and verbal communication skills alongside the use of IT systems such as EMIS.
The hours are worked Monday to Friday
