Thank you for your interest in joining us at Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.

We pride ourselves in striving to be an employer of choice.

Strategic Themes

Great Care
We will deliver safe, high quality, consistent and personalised care based on best practice. We are working to be a responsive organisation that listens and learns.

Great Organisation
We work to be a green organisation, and our sustainability plan will deliver NHS net zero targets. We will support quality care, research and innovation. All our work will be underpinned by clear and transparent principles and systems.

Great People
We will work together with our staff to create an organisation that supports our collective health and wellbeing. We will attract, retain and develop great people, and embed a caring, open, inclusive and restorative just culture that supports us to deliver quality care.

Great Partner
With our partners we will deliver health care that improves people’s quality of life, prevents ill health and reduces inequalities. We will spend our money wisely to achieve high quality outcomes that matter to local people.

At the NHS, we are reminded every day of how important life is. As a flexible working friendly organisation, we want to be sure that you can work in a way that is best for us and for our patients, and for you. Speak to us about how we might be able to accommodate a flexible working arrangement whether that’s job share, part time or another flexible pattern. In addition, although the role advertised may have a ‘home’ office base indicated, we remain committed to supporting flexibility around workplace locations. If it works for the service, we will do our best to make it work for you.

The successful applicant will be an NHS employee and may therefore have contact with vulnerable service users. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been necessary to take significant steps to protect the health and safety of our staff, service users and those attending our sites. Unless exempt, we encourage and support staff to be vaccinated as this remains the best line of defence against COVID-19.


Job overview

Never has there been a better time to join Cornwall CAMHS as a Team Manager.

Due to recent investments and development of our teams, we have created new managerial positions. Instead of three community teams we have devolved into six smaller teams across the county. You will have support from a larger peer network of CAMHS managers across the broader service. This means that team managers will be able to focus more on planning the exciting future of our CAMHS vision, launching new projects, improving our services and being part of our journey to being an outstanding CAMHS Service.

You will be well supported in your career development and provided supportive supervision to aid development within the role. Some of our current managers are studying for Masters level qualifications and are undertaking courses in Leadership alongside their work. Our CAMHS Service prides itself on our compassionate leadership culture and Just Culture ethos.

For an informal discussion or to express your interest please contact Rochelle Bones (Operational Lead Community CAMHS) on 01209 204 000 who would be delighted to hear from you.
