Clinical Psychologist - CORE CAMHS
Band 8a / Band 7 preceptorship
Trosolwg o'r swydd
Do you have a passion for young people’s mental health? Do you thrive in multi-disciplinary settings where psychological skills are highly valued?
Working in a very friendly and dynamic CAMHS Service, we have an exciting full-time opportunity for a Clinical Psychologist based mainly in our Buxton Core (Community) CAMHS Team. We are happy to consider flexible options.
We want you to support our psychological therapies pathways, with a clear therapy role most likely in our DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) Team; and you will have a pivotal role transforming/improving our Routine Outcome Measures delivery as ROMs Lead. There are opportunities for indirect working (e.g. consultation, supporting our clinical supervision structure).
Our Service has 10 teams with excellent track records working closely together, with lots of opportunities for gaining different experiences to develop your portfolio. Our internal training programme for staff is positively-rated and clinical supervision practice is highly valued. We value the diversity of our clinicians, and the different skill sets that they bring. We offer flexible working and have a special leave policy.
Whilst this is an 8a post we are very happy to receive applications from soon to be or newly qualified Clinical Psychologists in a preceptorship role (with a structured development plan to progress with regular support). We have well established links with the training courses and regularly have trainees on placement.

We are firmly rooted in the founding principles of the NHS, and we have built on this by “Leading the Chesterfield Way”, and with our Proud to CARE values. This means leading with care, openness, integrity and embedding an inclusive culture. We know that people have a life and responsibilities outside of work and we offer flexibility and a whole raft of support to care for your physical and mental wellbeing. This role is hugely important to us and we look forward to hearing from you.
Our main hospital base is on a greenfield site with abundant countryside, lovely views, beautiful landscaping and outdoor gym- it's easy to access green space at break times which offers an opportunity to de-stress. We also have a newer base located near the local train station. Both sites are in the historic market town of Chesterfield, and on the doorstep of Sheffield, a vibrant, multi-cultural/cosmopolitan city; and are easily accessible from the M1 and the A61.
