We are looking for a highly experienced Clinical Psychologist to join our innovative Salford CAMHS team.

Salford Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services provide support to children and young people aged 5–18 years presenting with a wide range of complex emotional, behavioural, and neurodevelopmental difficulties. The post holder will have an integral role in supporting access into CAMHS and strengthening the delivery of high quality psychological care across our pathways. The role includes providing clinical leadership, supervision, consultation, and training to members of the wider MDT.

The post holder will work closely with the Senior Leadership Team and the Lead Consultant Psychologist for Salford.
