Are you a highly experienced and skilled psychologist? Are you passionate about improving mental health services for children and young people? Are you looking for a new challenge and the opportunity to clinically lead a developing service?
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a counselling/clinical psychologist to join our CAMHS Learning Disability team in Herefordshire and Worcestershire. The successful applicant will provide clinical leadership across both counties, with clinical work delivered in Worcestershire. You will be highly skilled and experienced in delivering and developing an evidence-based therapeutic service, with a record of being a compassionate and inclusive leader. No two days will be the same, so flexibility, problem-solving skills, and a desire to make a difference are all vital for this role. You will provide clinical supervision to the CAMHS LD Team and will receive support from the most senior psychology leads in the Trust. This is a part-time role working 30 hours per week.
Main duties of the job
As the clinical lead for this service, you will be highly skilled and experienced in developing services in response to the needs of the cohort we work with. You will have a strong background working with children and young people with co-morbid mental health and learning disability needs and will be comfortable developing clinical services and therapeutic interventions. You will work closely with the leadership team to ensure the service is resilient and sustainable, with a well-supported team delivering evidence-based interventions. Your leadership style will be based around compassion and inclusivity; you will encourage this in the staff you clinically supervise. You will sympathetically and efficiently manage escalations and keep patient, family, and staff wellbeing at the heart of what you do.
We offer a flexible working pattern and are committed to upholding a compassionate and inclusive working culture. We are excited to speak with you if you think this role may be for you!
