Team Administrator

Job summary

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Team Administrator to join our dynamic team. This role requires excellent communication skills, the ability to work under pressure, and a commitment to delivering the best possible service for young people and their families.

As a Team Administrator, you'll be at the heart of a fast-paced and dynamic team, juggling multiple tasks to keep everything running smoothly.

The CAMHS SPA and Early Intervention Team serves as the front door to child and adolescent mental health services in Somerset, meaning no two days are ever the same.

The SPA and EI service aims to help young people before they need to access CAMHS, offering more support in the community, schools and online and by educating other people e.g. schools to help them. The SPA team will be responsible for all screening of referrals including signposting, offering information, telephone triage and where necessary face to face assessments to ascertain need.
