Main duties of the job
We are looking for registered professional to work in our CAMHS Intensive Home Treatment Team and we really want to hear from you.

We want you to help transform our service and expand our Intensive Home Treatment Team. Working alongside an already well established team we have a well-developed clinical supervision programme.
As an autonomous practitioner you will be responsible for managing your own work load within the requirements of the post.
Our workforce comes from various professional backgrounds and there are opportunities for building up professional networks within the service. We value the diversity of our clinicians and the different skill sets that they bring with them.
We offer flexible working, and have special leave and staff support policy in place.

We provide a full range of district general services including urgent and emergency care, specialist children’s services, maternity and community midwifery. We also offer primary care through three GP practices with eight surgeries between them. Our vision is exceptional care provided by exceptional people. Our mission is to bring our people, communities and partners together- providing patient care we can all be proud of. Your energy and leadership will be critical to our success.
We are firmly rooted in the founding principles of the NHS, and we have built on this by “Leading the Chesterfield Way”, and with our Proud to CARE values. This means leading with care, openness, integrity and embedding an inclusive culture. We know that people have a life and responsibilities outside of work and we offer flexibility and a whole raft of support to care for your physical and mental wellbeing. This role is hugely important to us and we look forward to hearing from you.
Our main hospital is on a greenfield site with abundant countryside, lovely views, beautiful landscaping and outdoor gym- it's easy to access green space at break times which offers an opportunity to de-stress.
Our new building, which is close by, is located in a historic market town and on the doorstep of Sheffield, a vibrant, multi-cultural/cosmopolitan city.
Both sites are easily accessible from the M1 and the A61 and the local train station is nearby.
