Senior Clinical

Intensive Residential Outreach Care (IROC) is an enhanced systems support service that provides psychologically informed support for systems working with children and young people within the West Midlands region. These young people have experienced early disruption, trauma and adversity contributing towards their complex psychological presentation. Due to a pattern of placement breakdowns, this cohort of young people experience immense instability and unpredictability in their lives which leads to inappropriate admission into tier 4 services. The aim of IROC is to reduce levels of instability and admissions into tier 4 services by providing a psychologically informed comprehensive package of intervention to professionals and caregivers throughout the West Midlands region.
This is a new and unique approach to children and young people with complex psychological needs and vulnerabilities. This project sits under the West Midlands CAMHS Provider Collaborative programme with funding available over the next three years to develop a regional service. The project will be implemented in phases which will include provision of a consultation, formulation and intervention service to the West Midlands region. This is an exciting opportunity for a suitably qualified Senior Clinical/Forensic Psychologist to provide highly specialist psychological assessment and intervention to the most vulnerable young people of the West Midlands region supported under IROC.
Main duties of the job
The main purpose of the role is to:
Provide highly specialist psychological assessments and interventions to clients and their families as well as offering indirect clinical services such as advice and consultation to colleagues and other professionals.
- Contribute towards the development and ongoing offer of the IROC service which will include identifying need and participating in development planning.
- Support staff supervision, and facilitation of client related work undertaken by other team members.
- Be involved in the development and delivery of a range of training to staff and other stakeholders/professionals as required.
- Support the development of research and evaluation processes attached to IROC and BWC trust as a whole.
- Ensure Clinical Governance and operational policies are adhered to whilst working autonomously as required.
- Ensure all aspects relating Continuing Professional Development is met in order to maintain clinical registration.
