Do you have a passion for young people’s mental health? Do you thrive in multi-disciplinary settings where psychological skills are highly valued?
We have an exciting full-time opportunity for a Clinical Psychologist based mainly in our Buxton Core (Community) CAMHS Team within a friendly and dynamic service. Flexible working options are considered.
Your role will support psychological therapies pathways, primarily in our DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) Team, and you will play a key role in transforming/improving our Routine Outcome Measures delivery as ROMs Lead.

Key Responsibilities:
1. Provide specialist psychological assessments, formulations, and interventions for children and young people with moderate to severe mental health difficulties.
