Clinical Team Leader - Hopewood Hospital
Hopewood hospital in Sherwood is a bespoke specialist service for young people, co-located with CAMHs community team and perinatal services.
Hercules Ward is an 8 bedded Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit that supports young people with mental and emotional health difficulties who present with risky behaviour.
Our team leaders have a key clinical role within a well-established multidisciplinary team. Approximately one third of shifts will take on the senior nurse on site role and responsibility for managing staffing, acuity, and referrals into service as well as other key clinical and operational issues. You will need to demonstrate that you have experience of working with people with mental health problems and supporting carers/families in an acute environment. You should have a working knowledge of the management of safeguarding processes, have excellent communication and leadership skills, and be willing to work across a 24 hour/7 day rota across all 3 wards on a rotational basis.

Main duties of the job
The Child & Adolescent Mental Health Service offers treatment for children and young people up to the age of 18 for mild to severe emotional and mental health needs. There are four multi-disciplinary Community Teams supporting Nottinghamshire along with specialist teams such as Eating Disorders, Head 2 Head, CAMHS Crisis and Home Treatment, CAMHS Neuro, Children Looked After & Adoption, Primary Mental Health, Perinatal services, and East Midlands Community Forensic Child & Adolescent Health Service (FCAMHS).
Our core purpose is to work with children and young people and their families/carers, who may be experiencing emotional and mental health disorders that have a significant impact on the child's development and cause distress to the child and/or their carers. We aim to improve the mental health of all children and young people with the provision of a timely, integrated, high quality, effective, multi-disciplinary county wide service.
