Working alongside a skilled multidisciplinary team, you will be instrumental in coordinating referrals, supporting clinical activity, maintaining high-quality data systems and ensuring an excellent experience for families and partner agencies. If you are organised, proactive and passionate about supporting innovative mental health services, we would love to hear from you.

Please note that we reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive a high volume of applications. Early application is therefore strongly encouraged to avoid disappointment.

You will be responsible for managing referrals and waiting lists, maintaining patient records and data quality, arranging appointments and meetings, producing correspondence and minutes, and supporting the day-to-day administration of Lewisham CAMHS. The post holder will work closely with clinicians, service users and external agencies to ensure efficient service delivery, excellent patient experience and compliance with NHS standards and targets.
