Whether you are newly qualified or have some experience in CAMHS or Learning Disability work, we are seeking someone passionate, innovative and creative, and in return you'll be supported to develop your clinical and specialist expertise and leadership skills.
The team provides a dedicated service for children and young people with learning disabilities, where there are concerns about their behaviour and / or mental health and consists of Nurses, Psychiatry and Psychology, a Behaviour Therapist and Support Workers. We work closely with multiple outside agencies such as school, colleges and social care. Constantly seeking to improve the service we offer there is scope for service-wide and professional development. As part of this there will be opportunities to work across other teams and services within NSFT’s CFYP care group.
As well as delivering specialist assessments and therapeutic interventions with children, young people and their families, you will encourage and support the wider team members to provide psychologically based care, with a strong emphasis on multi-disciplinary team working, risk assessment, care planning and safeguarding. You will provide consultation and training to the team and external agencies and there will be opportunities to supervise assistant and trainee clinical psychologists.
