Our application process aims to understand each candidates knowledge, skills and experience. We have found that candidates that use AI to generate their answers can lack specificity and fail to address key criteria outlined in the job description.
It is really important to personalise your application to convey your individual skills, knowledge, and experiences effectively and for us to understand why you are applying for this role with GHC. We discourage over reliance on AI-generated as it will lessen your chances of success in securing an interview with us .
Job overview
Gloucestershire CAMHS is a large service made up of a number of teams including Core CAMHS who work with children and families with severe to moderate mental health needs, the Outreach Team is a community based service working with children and young people in a mental health crisis to prevent hospital admission and the Young Adults Service is a county wide community service which works with 16-25 year olds to support young people’s mental health needs through a goal-based person centred approach.
A new and creative role has arisen in our child and adolescent mental health service for a chance to develop your clinical skills and experience as a Band 5 clinician. We have 2 positions in our Core CAMHS and Outreach teams and we are offering 2-year rotational posts whereby you will spend 8 months in each of our Core CAMHS, Outreach and Young Adults (16-25) teams where you will have a wide range of clinical experiences. This enables you the opportunity to professionally grow and flourish as a CAMHS practitioner through developing your skills in working with young children through to preparing them for adulthood.
You must be able to adapt to different areas of work and working patterns and be flexible in your approach to care (including unsocial hours and be a car driver).
