This is a wonderful opportunity to bring your inspiring leadership skills to a nurturing and supportive service firmly committed to developing our offer alongside the local communities we serve.

Roles are being offered at Band 8a, or Band 7 development post depending on experience. Preceptorship roles offer the opportunity for progression to Band 8a within a supported structure; responsibilities will be adjusted accordingly and a development plan will be agreed and reviewed. Those in the final year of their training are therefore also encouraged to apply.

We are especially keen to hear from candidates who reflect the diverse communities we serve.

Main Duties

By joining our vibrant and nurturing team, you will gain a wealth of experience and opportunities for leadership at an inspiring time of committed service development. Whether you bring previous experience or this is your first post-qualifying post, you will find your role invigorating and inspiring. Our CAMH services are committed to advancing equity of access, experience and outcome for all CYP in need of our services and have a range of robust service development initiatives/roles underway to achieve this.

We are passionate about being a research-active service and are committed to anchoring service development to principles of collaboration and co-production.

Working as a clinical psychologist in CAMHs will offer you a mix of opportunities for therapeutic work as well as drawing on your leadership skills. You will:

  • Support the MDT by offering consultation, supervision, in-house training and contributing to reflective practice/case discussions
  • Contribute to the development of service and therapeutic initiatives
  • Offer specialist assessment, formulation, intervention
  • Undertake care coordination responsibilities
  • Offer clinical supervision and host training placements for the DClinPsy
  • Contribute to teaching on the DClinPsy programme

In striving for excellence, our services seek to support the development of special interests within the team where these align with the needs of the communities we serve and service priorities.

Service specific Duties:

Within our CAMHS Outpatient service, we draw on a variety of therapeutic modalities including CBT, systemic, psychodynamic, narrative, EMDR and ACT. Alongside individual/systemic interventions, there are opportunities for delivering group work as part of the group work programme, for which training will be on offer. We also offer specialist neurodevelopmental and cognitive assessments.

We may close the advert early if we receive a sufficient number of applicants, so please apply as soon as possible.

Our CAMHS Learning Disability team offers person-centred systemic-orientated support packages for CYP who experience an Intellectual (Learning) Developmental Disability, and their family. There will be scope for developing the role of psychology in this post, along with strengthening existing links with the Outpatient service. You will take on responsibility for the supervision of Assistant Psychology colleagues and support the work of MDT colleagues.

Our CAMHS Eating Disorder team offers specialist assessment and intervention to young people and their families and carers. You will work within an MDT to provide group, individual and family-based interventions for children and young people with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, ARFID and OSFED diagnoses. We also provide cognitive and neurodevelopmental assessment. The successful applicant will have opportunities to train in NICE recommended treatments such as adolescent focused therapy and CBT-Enhanced.
