Crynodeb
The South London & Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust are seeking to appoint a Band 8b psychologist to join the new Children & Young People’s Gender Service (London).
This is an exciting new blended role that will work within the Children and Young People's Gender Service and an allocated Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS). The CAMHS element of this role will ideally be a good fit with the Children and Young People's Gender Service and the experience, skills, and preference of the applicant. Please specify in your supporting information your preferred choice. The post will be full time for 3 years (fixed term contract).
This post reflects the Cass Review recommendation that staff should maintain a broad clinical perspective by working across related NHS services to embed the care of children and young people with gender-related distress within a broader child and adolescent health context.
Practitioner Health and Educational Psychologists will also be considered for this role if they are able to demonstrate significant experience within a children and young people’s mental health setting and document the equivalent level of training in an appropriate therapeutic model, either as a core part of training, additional qualification, or substantial number of short courses.
The Children and Young People’s Gender Service provides assessment and therapeutic support for children and young people that are gender questioning or experiencing gender incongruence. Many of these young people will have co-morbid difficulties including developmental disorders, trauma, low mood and family conflict.
The post holder will work 0.5 wte within the Children and Young People's Gender Service and 0.5wte within an agreed CAMHS - to develop, coordinate and ensure the systematic provision of a highly specialist psychology service across both areas

We aim to utilise the skills, experience, and commitment of our clinicians to provide first class, effective, safe, and innovative care in community Borough based and National and Specialist Inpatient, Outpatient and Day patient multidisciplinary teams.
The Children and Young People's Gender Service (London) is being delivered by a partnership of Evelina London Children’s Hospital (part of Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust), Great Ormond Street Hospital and the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust.
The post holder will work within the Children and Young People's Gender Service and an agreed CAMHS to
• provide highly specialist psychological assessments, formulations and interventions for children and young people including trauma, self-harm and neurodevelopmental disorders
• To take a lead in ensuring a psychologically informed framework for both services
