This is a unique opportunity to work in a varied role building on and developing specialisms with Eating Disorders and with the various mental health difficulties that present to core CAMHS teams.
You’ll be working as part of a team that has recently won the Oxford Health staff 2024 Flexible team award. We pride ourselves in investing in staff and in the range of training and development opportunities available to all. Training, supervision and special interests groups are available to enhance your competencies in delivering specific therapeutic interventions including FT-AN, CBT (including CBT-E), NET etc.
As a more senior member of the team, supervision, consultation and leadership are key and training and development opportunities related to this are multiple.
You’ll be spending some of your time in our Specialist Eating Disorders Team and the rest in our Getting More Help Team. The teams are multidisciplinary and you will be part of a psychological therapies workforce that includes a Consultant Psychologist, band 7 Psychologist, clinical associate Psychologists, Trainee Psychologists, CBT Trainees / Therapists and Children’s Wellbeing Practitioners.
We undertake most of our clinical work on a face-to-face basis, but there is an opportunity for regular working from home dependent upon service needs and diary commitments.
We are open to having conversations about the best working hours for you so please give us a call to discuss this if 0.8 FTE isn’t quite right for you.
Working as part of our multi-disciplinary team, which consists of Psychologists, Family therapists, Psychotherapists, Children’s Wellbeing Practitioners, Psychiatrists, Nurses, Social Workers and Occupational Therapists, and in a team where a number of specialist clinics are offered eg LD, NDC, FT, ED, you will find plenty of opportunities to learn from colleagues and share expertise.
On a day-to-day basis, you will be undertaking mental health assessments, formulating, risk assessing and devising evidence-based care plans for children and young people (CYP). Collaborative working is key and we are proud of the relationships the team has with partner agencies including Salisbury District Hospital.
We have a strong psychology network and professional leadership across the 5 CAMHS teams in BSW (Bath and Northeast Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire) and strong links with the Doctoral Training course at Bath University.
