Overview
Do you have a passion for young people’s mental health? Do you thrive in multi-disciplinary settings where psychological skills are highly valued?
Working in a very friendly and dynamic CAMHS Service, we have an exciting full-time opportunity for a Clinical Psychologist based mainly in our Buxton Core CAMHS Team. We are happy to consider flexible options.
You will support our psychological therapies pathways, most likely in our DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) or CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) Team, according to service needs. You will also support the service transforming our ROMs (Routine Outcome Measures) delivery or support our existing clinical supervision programme, according to service needs. There are opportunities for indirect working (e.g. consultation).
Our Service has 10 teams with excellent track records working closely together, with opportunities for gaining different experiences to develop your portfolio. Our internal training programme for staff is positively-rated and clinical supervision practice is highly valued. We value the diversity of our clinicians, and the skill sets they bring.
Whilst this is an 8a post we are very happy to receive applications from soon to be or newly qualified Clinical Psychologists in a preceptorship role (with a structured development plan to progress with regular support). We have well established links with the training courses and regularly have trainees on placement.
