Job responsibilities

About the role and our team

An exciting opportunity has arisen to recruit experienced and motivated Child & Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) professionals to join our dedicated multi-disciplinary team on the Isle of Man!

Our team provides assessments and a range of treatments informed by NICE guidelines for children and young people with mental health problems and neurodevelopmental disorders.

We deliver Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) interventions and we encourage individuals with experience and training in this or those with a willingness to receive DBT training to apply.

Your skills, knowledge, enthusiasm and passion for the delivery of high quality recovery-focused care will ensure that children and young people living in the community are given the most effective treatment pathway or service to meet their needs.

If you have a proven track record of delivering and coordinating assessments, interventions, treatment and care packages to children and young people experiencing a range of mental health problems, we would love to hear from you!

What can this role offer me?

• By joining us you’ll be stepping away from NHS pressures and demands, as the Island’s healthcare system is similar but separate to the UK NHS
• We can offer you excitement, development and a chance to be your very best. Here, you can take advantage of the excellent opportunities we provide for your professional development, including the many courses we fund, including those up to Masters Level.
• We offer competitive salaries which tend to be higher than UK salaries with opportunities for annual pay increases for many roles.
• You will enjoy generous annual leave entitlement of 27 days and 10 public holidays
• For candidates not on the Isle of Man we offer a relocation package of up to £7,000 to get you, your things and your family to the island.
• For those relocating or returning to the island you will receive a refund on your national insurance contributions made in your first year, this could be up to £4,000!
• Great on site facilities and free car parking

About the Island and relocating
