Main Responsibilities

The successful candidate will be responsible for providing highly specialist psychological assessments of children, young people, and their families referred to the service. This will involve the use of complex data from various sources, including psychological and neuropsychological tests, self-report measures, rating scales, and semi-structured interviews.

The postholder will formulate and implement plans for the formal psychological therapy and/or management of a child's or young person's mental health problems, based on an appropriate conceptual framework of the client's problems. This will involve employing methods based on evidence of efficacy, across the full range of care settings.

The successful candidate will also be responsible for developing and implementing a range of highly specialist psychological interventions for individual children, young people, patients, carers, families, and groups, within the team. This will involve adjusting and refining psychological formulations, drawing upon different explanatory models, and maintaining a number of provisional hypotheses.

The postholder will conduct neuropsychological assessments with children and young people, interpreting the results with reference to evidenced-based models, and providing verbal and written feedback to clients, their families, and other professionals involved in the child's or young person's care.

The successful candidate will also provide regular clinical supervision/caseload management, appropriate to the development of specialist skills, in accordance with professional practice guidelines.

About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity to join our team of clinical psychologists and contribute to the development of our Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with a diverse range of clients, including children, young people, and their families, and to develop their skills and expertise in a supportive and collaborative environment.

The postholder will be responsible for working closely with other professionals, including doctors, nurses, and social workers, to provide comprehensive care to clients. This will involve communicating effectively, building strong relationships, and working collaboratively to achieve the best possible outcomes for clients.

Working Arrangements

The postholder will be expected to work flexibly, including occasional evenings and weekends, to meet the needs of clients and the service. The postholder will also be expected to participate in on-call rotas, as required.
