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 opportunity for a Clinical Psychologist based mainly in our Chesterfield Core CAMHS Base following the successful CAMHS Service submission for funding - we have a focused investment from the ICB (integrated Care Board) into routine CAMHS specifically for Reducing CAMHS waiting times as part of a Service Development Improvement Plan 2025 -2027. We are happy to consider flexible options. There are opportunities for indirect working (e.g. consultation, supporting formulation skills development).

Our Service has 10 teams with excellent track records working closely together, with 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 skill sets they bring.

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.

This post is funded for 0.6wte 3 days - there may be options to consider combinations with other posts.

As a Clinical Psychologist in Core CAMHS you will:
• Provide specialist psychological/therapy-based assessments, formulations and interventions for children and young people with moderate to severe mental health difficulties
• Provide a pivotal lead role in reducing waiting lists (‘Referral to Treatment’ (RTT) times) for Routine Core through indirect consultation and formulation skills offers to Core Mental Health Practitioners and providing direct joint-clinical work at referral, initial assessment and therapeutic intervention stages, where appropriate.
• Be client-centred and a goal-focused member of our multi-disciplinary service, championing ROMs and contributing to service developments, as appropriate.
• Empower and support young people on their journey to recovery
• Offer clinical advice and support, consultations, supervision and training for professionals in our CAMHS Service.
• Be an active member of an experienced multi-disciplinary service and contribute to team and service developments.
• Contribute to case discussions and a ‘careteam’ approach to formulation.

The founding principles of the NHS have significantly influenced our “Leading the Chesterfield Way”, and 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 well-being. This role is hugely important to us and we look forward to hearing from you.

Our main CAMHS base in at the main hospital base at the Den 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. Our other Core CAMHS base is in the beautiful spa town of Buxton and there would be opportunities to carry out some work there also.
