- Work within professional guidelines, overall frameworks, and policies and procedures for Psychology in Child Health.
We are looking for an exceptional candidate with post-graduate doctoral level training in clinical psychology, specifically in models of child and adolescent psychology, clinical psychometrics, and neuropsychology. Essential experience includes specialist psychological assessment and treatment of children, young people, and families across various care settings.
Candidates should possess strong communication skills, both orally and in writing, and be able to provide consultation to other professional groups. A doctoral level understanding of research methodology, research design, and complex data analysis is also required.
We value diversity and welcome applications from candidates who share our commitment to inclusivity and equality.
