You will be responsible for developing and overseeing a needs-led, evidence-based clinical model.

Support and develop the workforce through supervision, consultation, and training. Contribute your expertise within multidisciplinary team (MDT) and leadership meetings. Hold a small caseload of young people with more complex needs.
Skills and Experience Required Extensive knowledge and experience in delivering evidence-based psychological therapies within CAMHS, such as CBT, Family Therapy, DBT, and other psychotherapeutic approaches. A solid understanding of trauma-informed care and attachment-related presentations. A commitment to workforce development and clinical excellence.
What We Offer The successful candidates will join a supportive Directorate of Psychological Professions, offering a wide range of opportunities for leadership and career development. You will also receive regular clinical supervision from the Clinical and Strategic Lead to support your ongoing professional growth.
This is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of CAMHS services in our region while working with a dedicated and talented team.
