Job summary

We offer individual, family and group interventions which may be time limited or longer-term therapies according to need.

If you are a Nurse, Social Worker, Occupational Therapist or other registered mental health professional working within an adult setting, we would welcome your interest as you are likely to have excellent transferrable skills and competencies to join our child mental health workforce within Gloucestershire.

  • Involvement in multi-agency discussions and liaison with other statutory and community services.
  • Ensure the Voice of the Child is embedded within personalised care planning

About us

The Trust aims to recruit and retain the best possible staff who, through the application of their skills, qualification and experience, will make a positive contribution to our business of providing quality health care services. It is the Trust's view that the costs associated with moving house in order to take up a post with us should not restrict our ability to recruit the excellent people we need; therefore, we support staff to relocate with our relocation policy.
