Job overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Clinical or Counselling Psychologist with experience of working with young people and their families to work in our well-regarded service as part of our Cross Borough CAMHS teams. The role is split between the Crisis Outreach Resource for Autism Team (CORA) for 0.6 WTE and CAMHS Alliance Team for 0.4 WTE.
CORA works closely with other services and teams to improve the experience of Autistic young people in crisis. The work is varied and includes direct work with young people, family and carers, liaison with Tier 4 and specialist services, consultation and training with community teams and services, and service innovation and design.
The Alliance Team provides crisis assessments and follow-ups to children and young people presenting at local A&E, as well as brief interventions and outreach work to children and young people presenting with acute psychological and mental health problems where intensive support is required to prevent admission to hospital.
Main duties of the job
This role combines clinical work, consultation and training, alongside opportunities to support team development. At this time, we are particularly looking for a candidate to lead on the community-based offer in the CORA team. The postholder will also have opportunities to provide supervision and support to trainees and junior staff.
The role would be suited to someone who is passionate about delivering a high-quality psychology service with young people and families, as well as an interest in supervision, and working with multidisciplinary and multi-agency colleagues on some of the challenges facing mental health services for children and young people.
You will receive regular supervision and line management from the Principal Clinical Psychologist. There is also a strong network of CAMHS psychologists who work closely together across the trust. There are excellent opportunities for professional development.
