The post holder will be supported by the Neurodevelopmental CAMHS Team and our LD Consultant Psychiatrist.  The team is a multidisciplinary team and we work with young people with a diagnosed moderate to severe Learning Disability and provide assessment and treatment for Autism and ADHD.  The team provides mental health assessments of young people with a neurodevelopmental disorder and also psychological therapies for co-morbid mental health disorders. 

The ideal candidate will have a strong team and work ethic, sense of accountability, accompanied by an ability to work under considerable pressure at times and to work within the young person’s home alongside the care provider for the majority of the commissioned hours.

In return we will provide the necessary support to ensure your development within your role. We are keen to support and develop our staff through a clear career pathway and encourage promotional opportunities within the Trust.

If you are looking for a new challenge, enjoy variety in your work and wish to be part of a multidisciplinary team striving to make a difference for our community by supporting people with neurodevelopmental disorders and co-morbid mental health issues, then we want to hear from you.
