Job Description:

Band 8B Clinical Psychologist – CAMHS – 37 hours per week

NHS Grampian Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) is looking to continue to grow and develop our workforce; alongside wider exciting ongoing service evolution. Our CAMHS team is an inclusive, values-based multi-disciplinary team including Clinical and Applied Psychology, Psychotherapy, Clinicians, Allied Health Professionals, Nursing, Psychiatry, Admin, Business and Support staff. Our team ethos promotes patient-centred care, efficiency, and a culture that values, enables, and develops our staff.

We are looking for a warm, reflective individual who wants to make a difference to join us working with children, young people, their families, and wider systems. We are seeking individuals that share values that are important to us – being respectful, kind, curious, collaborative, efficient, forward-thinking, and trauma-informed – and those that embody these values in their day-to-day work.

There are excellent opportunities for a wide range of clinical experience within CAMHS (1:1 work, family work, group work, specialist workstreams and consultation), supervision, contributing to departmental research/audit, taking part in local and national teaching/training; and being part of a dynamic service undergoing new developments at a challenging time nationally.

We are part of the North of Scotland regional CAMHS Tier 4 network and alongside out-patient work, we work closely alongside the regional Dudhope Young People’s In-patient Unit. As well as having strong regional and national links, CAMHS works collaboratively with our local partner agencies across Grampian to continue to develop and foster local Tier 1 and 2 community mental health and wellbeing supports for children, young people, and their families.

Tailored and supportive line management alongside one-to-one, peer group, and multi-disciplinary supervision structures are in place to support professional reflection and growth.

For further information please contact: Dr Nicole Scherer-Dickson or Dr Rachael Smith, Consultant Clinical Psychologists, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS). Telephone 01224 550139 / gram.camhs@nhs.scot
