We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic Psychologist to provide a psychology service within the Durham and Darlington CAMHS Single Point of Access. We are looking for someone who has experience within CAMHS and will play a pivotal role in the clinical leadership team ensuring the assessment and outcome of CYP being referred into CAMHS is effective. The post holder will offer supervision, advice, consultation and training to other members of the team, and will play a key role in continuing to develop integrated working of the team.

This vacancy is open to either a newly qualified Psychologist / Psychological Therapist or an experienced Psychologist / Psychological Therapist with appropriate Job Description and banding being applied accordingly to the successful candidate. Successful candidates who are newly qualified Psychologists/Psychological Therapists will be expected to work towards the competencies of the higher band within an agreed time frame; being regraded to the 8a role upon successful completion.

Main duties of the job

The postholder will be involved in assessment and liaising with external agencies to gather information to ensure the CYP receives the right support of the right service. The post holder will offer supervision, advice, consultation and training to other members of CAMHS team, and will play a key role in continuing to develop the multi-disciplinary and multi-agency working of the team.

The successful candidate will be under the support and guidance of a Consultant Psychologist within the CAMHS service.

About us

The post will cover the Durham and Darlington CAMHS Teams. Experience of working with young people and families is important, as well as the ability to work effectively within the multi-disciplinary team and with our multi-agency partner organisations. We are keen to support the ongoing development of Psychologists through training and CPD opportunities.

There is a well-established and supportive Psychological Professions Network within the wider Durham and Tees Valley Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services supported by a highly motivated team of senior managers and clinical leads. Strong links exist between the service and local training courses in clinical psychology, counselling psychology and psychological therapy. Applied Psychology is highly valued within the Trust with good professional support. Leadership skills and behaviours are integral to the recruitment process. The Trust is a strongly value based, person centred organisation which has taken a strategic approach to continued service improvement, the modernisation of clinical roles and the use of care pathways embedded within a functioning system of governance.
