Community Mental Health Nurse

Our Specialist Youth team covering East/Central Suffolk have an exciting opportunity for a Community Mental Health Nurseto join their existing team.

Ideally, you'll have experience and skills in working with young people and their families and carers. CAMHS experience would be especially welcome and as would knowledge of attachment, child development and working systemically.

Suffolk CFYP services are in the process of innovative transformation. We are striving to develop our care model to be more aligned with the needs of the local communities. This has created opportunities to not only recognise and consolidate what we are doing well, but also to drive creativity in radically changing service delivery. These are both challenging and exciting times, in which we are redeveloping how we deliver mental health services in Suffolk. As such, this provides many opportunities for successful applicants to play a key role in bringing about positive change and making a difference, not only at an individual, family or team level, but in shaping the future direction of our services.

Our dedicated team is relatively small and is compassionate and responsive. There are processes to review our work, to develop areas of good practice, therapeutic skills and support learning and development of staff., The team has been developing ways of working which help to identify the types of needs that arise for young people and their families and channel resources appropriately.
