CAMHS Professionals

CAMHS Professionals

CAMHS Professionals is the United Kingdom’s first and only specialist staffing provider focused exclusively on Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). The organisation focuses on bridging the gap between service provision and the mental health needs of young patients by supplying highly skilled, pre-vetted professionals to a wide variety of healthcare settings.

Who We Are

CAMHS Professionals operates as a bespoke recruitment and staffing partner, functioning as a critical resource for the NHS, private healthcare providers, and local authorities.

The organisation is part of the Healthy Staffing Group and is headquartered in London (Hepscott Road). Their model is built on over 9 years of industry experience, with a database of over 20,000 registered candidates. They are known for their deep clinical understanding of the CAMHS market, which allows them to provide more precise matching than generalist healthcare agencies. They pride themselves on being a "responsive" partner, often filling vacancies before they even reach public job boards through their extensive internal talent pools.

The agency is highly regarded for its compliance standards and 24/7 consultant availability, maintaining a strong reputation among both clinicians and healthcare managers (4.7/5 Google Rating).

Approach & Values

CAMHS Professionals focuses on Expertise, Dedication, and Reliability.

They prioritise clinical suitability, ensuring that every professional they place has the specific temperament and skill set required to work with vulnerable young people. Their approach is designed to be candidate-centric, offering support with CV drafting, interview preparation, and navigating the transition from the NHS to private or locum roles.

A strong emphasis is placed on "bridging the gap," ensuring that emergency staffing shortages do not result in a decline in the quality of care provided to children and adolescents in crisis.

Industry Role

CAMHS professionals play a pivotal role in the UK’s Mental Health workforce strategy, acting as a specialist conduit for one of the most pressured areas of the healthcare system.

As a niche staffing provider, the organisation contributes to the stability of CAMHS services by providing a reliable "locum" and permanent workforce. They act as a strategic partner for Residential Children's Homes and Private Healthcare Groups, helping them maintain safe staffing levels and CQC compliance.

They offer a comprehensive career journey for mental health professionals, providing them with access to exclusive roles and 24/7 support to ensure they can focus on delivering high-quality care to the next generation.
