Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust is recruiting two full-time Band 6 Duty/PMHW workers to join its child and adolescent mental health services, with applications closing on 23 November 2026.

The two posts sit within the Trust's Primary Mental Health Worker (PMHW) and Duty teams in CAMHS, the child and adolescent mental health service, working across Bradford, Aire, Wharfe and Craven. One post is within the Duty/PMHW CAMHS team and the other is within the PMHW/Duty team.

The roles involve developing and providing mental health services to children and young people, including assessment, planning and delivering short-term care packages. The successful candidates will work within a multidisciplinary team, offering specialist support, consultation and training to staff and other agencies.

Day-to-day responsibilities include carrying out comprehensive assessments, putting care plans in place, maintaining therapeutic relationships and ensuring the safety of children at risk. The workers will also contribute to policy development, service improvement and performance monitoring, while promoting the involvement of young people and their families in care planning.

Applicants must be an occupational therapist, social worker, registered mental health nurse or psychologist, and must hold current professional registration. The Trust asks for at least two years of post-qualification experience within a mental health setting, along with knowledge of contemporary mental health practice and child protection issues. Experience of child and adolescent mental health nursing is listed as desirable, as is an ENB 998 qualification or equivalent.

The posts are subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service check, and applicants must have the right to work in the UK. The Trust states that it provides sponsorship for registered healthcare practitioner roles only, and that applicants who require a visa should check that they meet the Trust's sponsorship and Home Office requirements.

Shortlisting will take place on 24 November 2026, with interviews scheduled for 1 December 2026. The Trust says it may close the vacancy before the closing date if it receives a significant number of applications, so candidates are advised to apply as soon as possible.

For informal enquiries, the Trust names Sadia Ashiq, PMHW Team Leader, who can be contacted on 01274 723241. Applications must be submitted through the Trust's official recruitment system, Trac Jobs.
