Why Choose Cucumber for CAMHS Staffing?

Cucumber is an industry leader in CAMHS staffing for plenty of different reasons. We offer competitive rates and are able to tailor our fees to suit each client – preventing them from going over budget.

The solutions we provide are also highly flexible, as, due to many years of experience in the provision of services to the care sector, we are able to work with organisations to determine exactly what is required every time, no matter how unique the situation.

We are also able to respond immediately to enquiries – a feature that is vital to ensure patient safety and compliance to all key regulations. We know that urgent staffing is often par for the course within the care sector, after all.

Because we prioritise best practices, punctuality and dependability, the staff on our UK-wide database can be relied upon to deliver the highest possible standards every time.

Cucumber not only ensures that all candidate background checks and certifications remain up to date, but we also provide in-house training to upskill the staff on our roster and to provide the very best options to potential clients.

What CAMHS Staffing Roles does Cucumber Cater For?

Due to the huge variety of specialisms represented by the care sector professionals in our database, Cucumber is able to provide staffing solutions to match almost any CAMHS-related requirements.

From support workers offering advice and guidance in schools to children and young people struggling with poor mental health, to highly qualified nurses providing residential care to adolescents exhibiting challenging behaviour, whatever specialisms you may be looking for, it’s highly likely that you will find it among our staff.

We also regularly connect employers with healthcare assistants, administrators, nursery practitioners, care assistants, service managers, operations managers, project managers and other specialists.

Whether you’re looking to fill a temporary, contract-based or permanent role and whether you need part-time, shift-based or full-time staff, we’ll be able to provide you with a range of excellent options, even at very short notice.

Are the CAMHS Staff Appropriately Qualified and Skilled?

The Cucumber team members pride ourselves not only in the range and quality of the qualifications currently held by our candidates, but also by the programme of in-house training that we are able to provide to improve each individual’s skillset, making our staff exceptionally employable.

The CAMHs-related training that we provide covers vital areas including:

• Challenging Behaviour
• Dignity and Respect
• Epilepsy
• Equality and Diversity
• Health and Safety
• Maybo qualifications
• Mental Health
• Instruction on the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS)
• Person Centred Care
• Safeguarding

Mental health issues are currently on the rise amongst the UK’s young people, so it’s vital that the industry is properly staffed with experienced specialists.

The team at Cucumber are well aware that, while the provision of care and support services to young people struggling with their mental health is the core aim of CAMHS, highly qualified practitioners are also required to provide assistance, advice and education in schools and care facilities as well as to parents and peers.

The delicate and complex nature of this field is clear to us, which is why we only work with specialist staff holding up to date training and accreditations.
