Job overview
Are you interested in working in a team that delivers services to young people facing mental health challenges?
If you are not already working in a CAMHS setting we can immerse you in mental health services and train and develop you within our experienced team. There has never been a better time to join Oxford Health CAMHS and this post is based in our Getting More Help (GMH) team where you will deliver a high quality, comprehensive mental health service for children, young people and their families who are experiencing mental health difficulties.
Within Children & Adolescent Mental Health Services in Buckinghamshire we are looking for motivated qualified nurses who are looking to work in a great team alongside nurses, occupational therapists and social workers, all of whom are dedicated to improving services for young people. You may be a band 5 ready for the next step in their career, or an experienced band 6 nurse who wants to gain exposure in a new area. Either way, we have a career path ready for you.
This role is also eligible for an incentive scheme of £3,500 paid at intervals over an 18-month period. All payments are pro-rata, non-pensionable and subject to a clawback clause. Please note that only employees external to Oxford Health NHS are eligible for this scheme.
