In return, we are looking for people like you - people who are innovative, driven and committed to serving and improving Nottingham. So, if you are passionate about making a difference to the lives of those who live and work in our city, we want to hear from you.

We are seeking experienced and passionate Social Workers to join our Children in Care CAMHS Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT). This is an exciting opportunity to work within a specialist service comprising Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust staff supporting children and young people in care who present with complex emotional, behavioural, developmental, and mental health needs.

As part of a collaborative multidisciplinary team, including a Psychiatrist and Clinical Psychologist, you will play a key role in providing consultation, assessment, and therapeutic interventions to children, carers, and their wider professional network.

You will work closely with children and young people in care, foster carers, residential staff, social care teams, schools, and partner agencies to strengthen understanding of trauma, attachment, neurodevelopmental needs, and relational approaches.

A typical day could include direct clinical and therapeutic work, undertaking assessments, together with consultation and network support to promote placement stability and emotional wellbeing, always contributing to positive outcomes for children and young people.

The ideal candidate will have:

• Be a qualified Social Worker registered with Social Work England
• Substantial experience working with children in care and/or CAMHS settings
• Good understanding of trauma, attachment, developmental trauma, and systemic practice
