Our goal is to make clinical supervision, ongoing learning, and reflective practice central to the service. We want to invest in our team members' sense of mastery and want to provide a customised, ongoing training program for all employees. Going forward, we pledge to be conscious of creating possibilities for career advancement. We are especially interested in utilising new employee's specialist expertise and interests.

From referral to discharge, you will be in charge of managing an individual caseload, doing regular, high-priority evaluations, intervening when necessary, and exercising autonomy. In addition to conducting service governance activities, such as research and auditing as needed, you will be communicating with coworkers and other agencies and offering guidance, information, and counsel. To guarantee the best results for children and young people, successful candidates will regularly and continuously consult, collaborate, train, and counsel other professionals in respect to child and adolescent mental health.
Participating in the on-call schedule, which includes some weekends and bank holidays, is part of the job.
About us
We're an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital-based care to improve people's physical and mental health. We also provide specialist support to people with dementia or a learning disability.
We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you'll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.
Over 4,000 people make up the Trust. This includes doctors, nurses, therapists, plus admin and support staff.
We work in people's homes, in community clinics and bases. Some staff work from one of our 13 community hospitals. Our aspiration is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work and a great partner.
Just over 532,000 people live here. A third of people who live in Cornwall are supported by acute hospital services in Devon. As a result, we also work closely with our partners in Devon. In the summer, and during other holidays lots of people choose to visit the area. This increases the numbers of people who use our services.
