Job summary
We are looking for an experienced and dynamic Mental Health Nurse to take on the role as Team Lead & Clinical Nurse Specialist for the Health & Wellbeing team (CAMHS) as part of the integrated health team within HMP YOI Feltham. This is a unique and exciting opportunity to be a part of, and help to lead, an innovative trauma informed care model. It's also an opportunity to use your clinical and interpersonal skills, develop new skills through supervision and training and work with a unique population group.
