Job Summary
An opportunity has arisen for a Senior Assistant Psychologist to join the team. We are a passionate multidisciplinary team delivering NICE recommended treatments, aiming to provide the best possible care to adults living with eating disorders.
In this senior assistant psychologist role, alongside a clinical workload (initial assessments and CBT-T caseload), you will input into service development and evaluation (including outcomes and audit).
You will be supervised by a psychologist/psychological therapist in the team, in addition to receiving highly specialised CBT-T group supervision.
