6 days ago


Norwich, United Kingdom Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust Full time

“I love working in CAIST for the difference we can make in a young person’s and their family/carer’s life, through their most difficult times.” Come and join our award-winning team

Is your passion working creatively with children and families? Looking for a role with flexible working opportunities?

We are excited to offer an opportunity to join our Under 18’s Crisis Service as an Assistant Psychologist supporting young people and their families across Norfolk and Waveney.

This role is peripatetic and means you will occasionally be required to travel between our sites so being able to travel independently is essential. We have bases in East, Central and West Norfolk.

CAIST (Crisis, Assessment and Intensive Support Team) is a vibrant and dynamic service that has 3 teams based across Norfolk & Waveney and currently offers an 08.00 to 20.00 service, 7 days a week, although the advertised post will be employed Monday to Friday 09.00 to 17.00.

The team offers community based intensive support to children & young people and their families. CAIST aim to establish trusting therapeutic relationships, to reduce risks when children and young people may be experiencing high levels of distress. We work hard to help children and young people avoid Tier 4 hospital admission, and when required, to expedite safe and effective discharge.

Don’t just take our word for it, hear what one of the team said about working with us:
“The team consists of a variety of great individuals from all backgrounds and skills, who feel passionately about supporting young people and what we do; this is demonstrated in the hard work and passion for the job.

Despite being challenging at times, working within the CAIST team is incredibly rewarding. Skill development and progression is encouraged to continually evolve and expand the service and I feel proud to be a part of such an amazing team.”

As an Assistant Psychologist in the team you will have opportunities to be involved in service evaluation, research and development and training. You will have the opportunity to work within and alongside a multi-disciplinary team as well as develop an understanding of how the service works alongside partner services and external agencies. You will receive regular clinical supervision and support from the Clinical Psychologist within the service and have the opportunity to be involved in direct pieces of clinical work including assessment, formulation and focused brief intervention as appropriate.

The service has close links with the University of East Anglia and offers a specialist placement for Trainee Clinical Psychologists on the Doctorate programme.

We are looking for people to join us with enthusiasm, optimism, fresh ideas and energy.

Here at NSFT we pride ourselves on being a welcoming, talented, friendly and supportive team who like nothing better than sharing experiences and learning from each other. In addition to ongoing training and development opportunities, we are committed to providing an environment in which you can thrive.

Why work for us?We have challenges as a Trust, but we have ambitious aspirations, are pushing ahead with exciting transformation work and we need dedicated individuals to support us on our journey. We have strong, established nursing networks coupled with an exceptional leadership team who will ensure you are truly cared for and cared about.

Why Norfolk and Suffolk?The people here are warm and welcoming, you’ll never be far from the beautiful coastline or Broads National Park. We’re an hour and a half away from London and have an international airport in Norwich too. Our villages, towns and cities are packed full of history, independent cafes, shops and theatres. We have excellent shopping, eating out, top ranking schooling and affordable house prices too.

We want you in our team if you share our values and core beliefs. If you want to work in an environment of mutual respect, transparency, integrity and collaborative working we are the team for you.
