Role Responsibilities
As a Senior Clinician you will be mentoring and/or supervising the development of Low Intensity CBT practitioners (EMHPs/CWPs) in your team, building a culture of high-quality clinical practice. You will grow and nurture trainees and newly qualified EMHPs/CWPs, utilising your experience and skills to ensure they develop into well-rounded clinicians. For sufficiently qualified clinicians, the opportunity to complete a fully funded 1-year Supervision Training is also available as part of these roles.
You will take the lead in building relationships with senior leaders in schools, providing regular case consultation, support, and advice, and being a 'link' to the wider children's mental health services. Together with the Lead and educational psychologists, you will develop programmes of work to support schools with their whole school approach goals, enabling more sustainable, holistic change. Finally, you will hold a caseload, delivering direct interventions to CYP and families.
Requirements
We are looking for inspiring, motivated, forward-thinking clinicians who are flexible and able to work effectively with partners in education, multi-agency partners, children, young people, and their families.
