Are you a qualified Mental Health Nurse or Learning Disability Nurse? If so then why not consider a career in Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMHS).

Our fantastic West Dumbarton multidisciplinary team have an opportunity for a band 5 nurse to join them on a full time, permanent basis. However due to service requirements across the Greater Glasgow and Clyde CAMHS community teams, there may be a requirement to rotate across the service. This would be undertaken in a planned and supported manner should it arise.

We have a robust induction package available, so prior experience of working in CAMHS is not essential.

All new starts will be supported to complete Essential CAMHS training.
We have excellent career opportunities within CAMHS for nurses, as well as tailored in-house academic teaching timetable and support via NES for 1st year development of new to CAMHS nurses before considering longer therapy courses.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay.  This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff.  This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours.  However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week.  If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Recruiting Board.
