Exciting Opportunity for Principal Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist to join East Hertfordshire’s Children and Young People’s Mental Health Service (CYPMHS) in the leadership role of Principal Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist (8b post). The team works as one team across two main sites, in Welwyn Garden City and Hoddesdon, and you will work across both bases.
Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (HPFT) CYMPS is an innovative and dynamic service, being a lead service for New Care Models, first wave for CYP-IAPT, accelerator site for i-Thrive and a trailblazer site for Mental Health Support Teams in schools which are now established across Hertfordshire.
Responsibilities
You will have ACP registration and provide highly specialist child and adolescent psychotherapy. You will work within the principles of CAPA (Choice and Partnership Approach), i-THRIVE and CYP-IAPT. You will work autonomously within the team, undertaking assessments and interventions with children, adolescents, and their families. You will have a high level of clinical expertise and operate within relevant codes of practice and ethical guidelines and draw upon a range of models and techniques.
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.
