CAMHS - HSE Career Hub

Work with us in CAMHS

Be part of an ambitious reform programme in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), working in our front line services, actively supporting children and young people to have the greatest chance to enjoy a healthy life and reach their full potential.

Promoting good mental health and building resilience in children, young people and families is hugely important. Healthy emotional and social development in childhood lays the foundation for good mental health and resilience throughout the lifespan.

Our ambition is to prioritise the promotion of good mental health, intervene early when problems develop, and ensure clear, integrated pathways to community-based mental health services for those who need extra supports.

CAMHS are specialist mental health services for those aged up to 18 years, who have reached the threshold for a diagnosis of moderate to severe mental health disorders and require the input of a multi-disciplinary specialist mental health team.
