About the Role
We’re looking for a Clinical Psychologist to join us in supporting Vista Residential Living, a new specialist provider of therapeutic children’s homes in the Wirral. This is a pivotal role where you’ll lead on embedding our Attachment and Trauma Informed Care (ATIC) model - with time and space to do it properly.
You’ll work across two small therapeutic homes (one newly opened, another launching in 2025), supporting up to 6 children and young people aged 8–17 with complex trauma, relational needs, and emotional/behavioural difficulties.
This is a role for someone who thrives in an integrated, system-aware, reflective practice environment. You’ll lead reflective practice, deliver supervision, train staff, guide risk planning, hold a small therapy caseload, and provide systemic consultation - supported by a highly experienced and values-driven team.
Why Join MCTS?
MCTS is a Social Enterprise - we exist to reinvest in creating better care for children, young people and families. We’re the trusted partner of independent care providers who want to deliver truly therapeutic residential care.
We’re clinician-led, mission-driven, and passionate about doing things differently.
Smaller, more manageable caseloads
Hybrid working (2–3 days on site, rest from home)
Resources and time to deliver the work properly
A genuine opportunity to shape services from the ground up
“I was initially nervous about leaving the NHS, but at MCTS I feel valued, resourced, and empowered. I’ve been able to deliver care in a way that’s meaningful - both for young people and for me as a clinician.”Clinical Psychologist, MCTS

* Significant experience working in residential, inpatient or complex children’s services

Even Better If You Have…
* Training in specialist modalities (e.g. DDP, EMDR, CAT, DBT, CBT, systemic therapy)
* Experience delivering training or supervision to mixed-skill teams
