Job summary

Join us in transforming Child and Adolescent Mental Health across Cornwall

We are looking for an innovative and experienced practitioner to provide community-based mental health support as part of a joined-up neighbourhood approach to care.

The CYP Practitioner is a newly created post that will work as part of the Truro Integrated Neighbourhood Team (INT), sitting at the heart of a three-post child and young people mental health model developed in partnership with CAMHS, and local voluntary and community sector organisations.

By working with the whole family, the role helps create safer, more stable relationships and improves outcomes for children and families.
