Job Description
We are seeking an experienced Clinical / Counselling Psychologist (HCPC registered) or CBT therapist (BABCP accredited) who is enthusiastic and passionate about working with a range of clients (many of whom are difficult to engage) to work in our friendly service.
Please note candidates need to be qualified clinical/counselling psychologists and registered with the Health & Care Professions Council or they need to be qualified Cognitive Behaviour Psychotherapists and accredited with the British Association of Behaviour and Cognitive Psychotherapy (BABCP).
Ideally the post holder will have experience of working within a specialist eating disorders service. However, this is not a prerequisite and we will offer in-house training, regular supervision and a thorough induction to all new staff in order to develop knowledge and skills of working with eating disorders. The post is substantive at full-time (1.0wte). Please note that the post requires a minimum of 3 days working in-person at our main hospital base Springfield (SW17 0YE).
The primary therapy modalities are CBT and MANTRA but there is a lot of scope to incorporate other therapy models such as CFT, DBT & CRT amongst others. The post holder would offer psychological assessment, formulation and therapy to individuals and groups and contribute to teaching, supervision, service development projects, research and audit.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
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
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
The post holder will receive clinical and professional supervision from an experienced Clinical/Counselling Psychologist/CBT therapist and will have the opportunity to provide supervision to others eg Band 7 clinicians, Assistant Psychologists and psychology / CBT trainees on placement.
The adult eating disorders service is part of a provider collaborative network, the South London Partnership, with the South London & Maudsley EDS. This offers great opportunity for more integrated working across the partnership and developing new initiatives together with colleagues in the SLaM Eating Disorders Service.
