This is a Recruitment Pool for Permanent Full Time appointments.
Permanent Part Time, Fixed Term Full Time, Fixed Term Part Time,

We are building Acute Care & Response Teams (ACRT) to serve the
north, south and east metro regional areas. The current vacancies

vacancies arise.
About
the Acute Care & Response Team
(ACRT):
The Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) is set to
transform its services in line with
ICA Taskforce recommendations.
The ACRT is a new service model, arising from the Infant,
Child and Adolescent Taskforce. The team will provide a step
up in intensity of service to children and adolescents
experiencing a crisis or deterioration in their mental
health. This will include assessment, safety planning and
short-term stabilisation, planning for ongoing care, and
supplementary care for children with severe and enduring
mental ill health to provide the care the child needs in a
community setting reducing the need for hospital
presentations. The East ACRT will provide a
service to children and adolescents who live in the eastern
region of the Perth metropolitan area (Bentley, Swan,
Midland, Armadale).
As mental health conditions can deeply impact the emotional and
social well-being of children and their families, our holistic and
child-centered approach is designed to assist families and is
focused on participation and
engagement.
As a clinician on the team, you’ll be required to conduct
home and community visits during business hours and on a rostered
basis, including after hours and on weekends, based on operational
needs. You’ll be part of a team that prioritises patient and
staff safety and receive training and ongoing
supervision.
We are also seeking a Clinical Nurse Consultant, Clinical Nurse
Specialists and Senior Social Workers to be part of the team.
