At Collingham you will be supporting children and their families to build resilience, better coping strategies and healthy relationships through therapeutic intervention and structured meaningful activity. We appreciate that not everyone has provided care for young people in an inpatient setting, but if you're a Registered Paediatric, Mental Health or Learning Disabilities Nurse, we'd love to hear from you. "When I first was introduced to Collingham as a student nurse almost 3 years ago and loved it so much that I kept coming back for bank shifts as a band 3 support worker. I felt part of the family and fully involved and when I qualified as an RMN I became a permanent band 5 staff nurse on the unit. From there I've progressed onto becoming a band 6 Clinical Team Leader. And it hasn't stopped there! I've continued to develop and grow within Collingham and the CNWL CAMHS family and have had opportunities to act up into a band 7 managerial role for a few weeks as I continue my career progression path" An account from one of our staff team nurses, sharing their story. Who are we? The team consists of nursing, psychology, occupational therapists, systemic psychotherapists, support workers, ward manager, matron and psychiatry.
