Passionate about CBT and want to join a welcoming and dynamic team to gain valuable CAMHS skills and experience? Come and join Sussex CAMHS where your skills, experience and ideas will be appreciated and valued.
We are looking for a cognitive behavioural psychotherapist or clinical psychologist with a specialism in CBT to join us for a fixed term contract until the end of March 2027, or who might be open to a secondment from their existing post within SPFT, at up to 1.0 FTE. Part time opportunities, and bank opportunities, are also available.
To be employable at Band 7, you need to have either HCPC registration (clinical psychology) or BABCP accreditation (CBT). If you BABCP accreditable and have submitted for accreditation then we can offer an opportunity at Band 6.
A key advantage of working in CAMHS is the chance to work alongside and learn from highly specialist nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists and psychotherapists (with trainings in systemic, DBT, creative, analytic and CBT). Within Sussex CAMHS we have a strong psychology and CBT team.
We would expect the therapist to be conversant with IAPT principles, and practiced in using ROMS and disorder specific outcome measures as part of evaluation and of their work, as well as part of ongoing team audit.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

We operate an episodic care model and you would hold some clinical lead responsibilities within these, including decision-making around treatment options.
