Community Mental Health Nurse / Practitioner

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Community Mental Health Nurse / Practitioner to join our newly developing Enhanced Support Team within Community CAMHS. This role has been created to improve access for children and young people who experience barriers to traditional clinic-based care. The team works flexibly and creatively across community settings, supporting young people within their wider systems. You will be part of a close-knit, multi-disciplinary team where responsibility is shared and held collectively. Many young people present with high levels of vulnerability, complexity, and risk (to self, others, and from others); however, this is held within a coordinated, supportive team approach rather than in isolation. The role emphasises multi-agency collaboration, working with families, education, social care, and partner agencies to develop shared understandings and psychologically informed care plans that promote relational care. As the team is still developing, there is genuine opportunity to shape ways of working, team culture, and approaches to engagement, risk, and intervention. We are particularly interested in practitioners who demonstrate a strong values base, including trauma-informed, relationship-based practice; a systemic perspective; confidence working flexibly beyond traditional models; collaborative, team-based thinking; respect for multi-agency expertise; and a belief in the potential for change, even in complex situations.
