Have you thought about working for CAMHS and have a passion for young people’s mental health? Working in a very friendly, dynamic and supportive CAMHS, we have an exciting opportunity for several qualified or soon to be qualified Psychologists to join established teams including Learning Disability CAMHS and Intensive Home Treatment team (IHTT). We are happy to combine / split the posts to support your development and interests or offer part time contracts.
These are Band 8a posts, but we are also able to offer them as a preceptorship post for newly or soon to be qualified Psychologists (Band7/8a). You will be working with experienced enthusiastic Psychologists in both teams.
We really want to hear from you. It is an exciting time for the service as we grow and expand our offer to the young people and families of North Derbyshire. We want you to help transform and expand our services. Working alongside already well established teams we have a well-developed CPD and clinical supervision programme. If you’re keen to develop particular interests within child & adolescent mental health, please talk to us about how we could support that. We have well established links with the training courses and regularly have several trainees on placement.

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 wellbeing.
Our workforce comes from various professional backgrounds and there are opportunities for building up professional networks within the service. We value the diversity of our clinicians and the different skill sets that they bring with them. We offer flexible working and have a special leave policy in place.
Our main hospital is 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. Our new building, which is close by, is located in a historic market town and on the doorstep of Sheffield, a vibrant, multi-cultural/cosmopolitan city.
Both sites are easily accessible from the M1 and the A61 and the local train station is nearby.
