Summary
A Vacancy at Barnet, Enfield & Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust.
We are looking for a reflective, committed and skilled Clinical or Counselling Psychologist to join our team at Barnet CAMHS.

The team is committed to an inclusive approach to these changes in order to get the best and most effective help for the most vulnerable young people in Barnet.
BEH as a Trust has adopted the Thrive model of Service delivery in CAMHS and Enablement as a guiding influence in all we do.

Our goal is to support people to “Live Love Do”, that is have a secure and safe place to live, family, friends and relationship (love), and value-based work or a role in life that improves our wellbeing (‘do’).
