Senior DBT Therapist
The N&S CAMHS DBT Service is looking for an experienced and committed Senior DBT Therapist to join our established Dialectical Behaviour Therapy team. This is a fantastic opportunity to join us in delivering a high-quality, evidence-based Dialectical Behaviour Therapy programme with young people and their parents and carers. There are also opportunities to be involved in our active programme of research and service evaluation, as well as teaching, supervision and consultation to other NHS teams.
We believe diversity is a strength and we particularly welcome applications from those underrepresented in psychology, i.e. minoritised racial, ethnic and cultural groups, as well as people from all marginalised groups, communities and backgrounds.
Role Purpose
- To provide highly specialist clinical input to the N&S CAMHS DBT Service including specialist assessment, treatment, planning, implementation and monitoring of outcomes.
- To contribute to enabling other staff, service users and carers from diverse backgrounds to flourish by working to create a psychologically safe environment and developing anti-racism knowledge and practice.
- To provide clinical supervision and consultation as appropriate, within and outside of the team, functioning as a lead specialist in DBT.
- To undertake service evaluation, audit and research projects.

About the Service
The National & Specialist CAMHS Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Service is a well-established and supportive team based at the Pears Maudsley Children and Young People (PMCYP) at the Maudsley Hospital Denmark Hill, SE5 8AZ. The multi-disciplinary service consists of Clinical and Counselling Psychologists, a Senior Systemic Psychotherapist, Nurses and a Consultant Psychiatrist, and is open to referrals within South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, Greater London Boroughs and Nationally.
As a service we offer a comprehensive, evidence-based DBT-A Programme (DBT adapted for working with adolescents and their parents/carers, as recommended by NICE for young people with frequent self-harm and emotion dysregulation difficulties). The team offers all modes of a standard DBT-A programme including individual therapy, skills groups for young people and their parents/carers, telephone coaching, parent/carer/family sessions, and team consultation. We see young people aged 13-17 who meet our inclusion criteria (they struggle primarily with severe self-harm, suicidality, and related problems). The treatment targets self-harm behaviours and other high-risk behaviours and helps young people learn to manage their emotions, improve their relationships with others and to cope with difficult thoughts and feelings.
