Please see Job description ISLINGTON CAMHS MISSION STATEMENT Our mission is to create Children and Young Peoples Mental Health Services (Islington Community CAMHS and Paediatric Mental Health Team) within Whittington Health Trust that embrace diversity and foster inclusivity at all levels. We strive to empower and support our staff and service users to achieve wellbeing. Young people and families As a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service within Whittington Health we appreciate the importance of equality, diversity, inclusion and equity to strive towards providing the best quality and compassionate health care for you. Islington and our neighbouring boroughs are diverse communities.

Through an awareness of social and cultural differences we understand that people may have different perspectives on emotional and mental health, and therefore our children, young people and families may have differing experiences and differing needs. We want to understand what it is you need from us. We welcome and will seek conversations and feedback from ALL our service users to make us more accessible to you. Workforce We want our staff to feel safe, supported and included within Whittington Children and Young Peoples Mental Health Services.

We want to value the things that make us unique, including all protected characteristics. Therefore, we wish to foster a positive culture which will allow all staff to flourish and ensure that everyone is valued and respected. We are working towards a non-defensive position that recognises the biases held within large organisations. This requires commitment, support and action from everyone at all levels of the organisation to change cultures and attitudes.

We hope that this positive culture will promote a more accessible and inclusive service for staff, children, young people, families, carers and partner stakeholders.
