We have an exciting full-time opportunity for a Clinical Psychologist based mainly in our Buxton Core (Community) CAMHS Team within a friendly and dynamic service. Flexible working options are considered.

Your role will support psychological therapies pathways, primarily in our DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) Team, and you will play a key role in transforming/improving our Routine Outcome Measures delivery as ROMs Lead.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Provide specialist psychological assessments, formulations, and interventions for children and young people with moderate to severe mental health difficulties.
2. Lead the transformation and enhancement of our Routine Outcome Measures delivery as ROMs Lead.
3. Be client-centered and goal-focused, championing ROMs and contributing to service development.
4. Empower and support young people on their recovery journey.
5. Offer clinical advice, support, consultations, supervision, and training to professionals within CAMHS.
6. Participate actively in a multi-disciplinary team and contribute to service improvements.
7. Engage in case discussions and adopt a 'careteam' approach to formulation.
