About the Role

About Us

We use the CAPA model of assessment and treatment, which would involve working with a variety of clinical presentations and needs, including: suicidal thoughts, low mood, anxiety, OCD and emerging psychosis, often alongside neurodiversity. We also have a lot of referrals for young people with disordered eating and diagnosed Eating Disorders, and there are opportunities to work within this clinic if this is something you are interested in.

With the role, you would use highly specialist psychological knowledge and skills to contribute to improving the mental health of young people working with North Bristol CAMHS.
