We are seeking an enthusiastic and creative Specialist Psychologist with CAMHS and liaison experience to come and work in the socially and culturally diverse borough of City and Hackney.

We welcome applications from newly qualified or soon to be qualified psychologists.

The successful candidate will be part of a stimulating and supportive multidisciplinary Emotional and Behavioural team (E&B). This role will include a WAMHS role (Wellbeing and Mental health in Schools), working in a secondary school one day a week. The role may also include an opportunity of group work. There is a strong commitment to clinical supervision and professional development within CAMHS and the wider NHS Foundation Trust including many learning and teaching opportunities.

This is a community-based post, located within the Emotional and Behavioural Pathway (E&B) in City & Hackney CAMHS offering flexible, evidence-based episodes of care, assessments and treatments, including group-work.

The post holder will directly contribute to the positive working environment within the multi-disciplinary team and will work collaboratively with CAMHS colleagues to develop and improve the work of the service.

The post holder will require a high degree of professional autonomy and self-management, and will be required to account for their professional practice through appraisal and audit. The post holder will play a direct role in Quality Improvement (QI) and audit projects as necessary.

Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve.

Our values are

We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive – so we are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues in the Trust and our partner organisations.

As a specialist psychologist, the post holder will potentially clinically supervise the work of assistant psychologists, trainees, and qualified junior CAMHS staff.
