About the Role:
Join Us as a Nurse Practitioner – Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS)
At Mental Health, Justice Health and Alcohol and Drug Services (MHJHADS), we're dedicated to supporting children, youth and adults across inpatient and outpatient settings, community health centres, justice health facilities and even within people's homes. Guided by values of kindness, reliability, respect and progress, and underpinned by contemporary mental health and human rights legislation, we ensure dignity and rights are always at the forefront of care.
We're seeking a Nurse Practitioner to bring advanced clinical expertise and compassionate leadership to CAMHS, providing assessment, treatment and ongoing support for young people experiencing moderate to severe mental health challenges. In this extended practice role, you'll deliver evidence-based interventions, lead therapeutic management plans, oversee medication and diagnostic investigations, and advocate for patients and families while collaborating with a multidisciplinary team.
This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact, contribute to service innovation, and shape the future of youth mental health care. If you're ready to combine clinical excellence with leadership and a commitment to progressive, person-centred care, we'd love to hear from you.
