Dorset CAMHs Integrated Front Door Team
As part of an bold transformation programme, Dorset CAMHs are fully embedding the Thrive framework of care. A core part of the developments is the creation of a multi-agency integrated front door for families and professionals seeking support and help.
We are looking for an experienced and innovative Clinical Psychologist to provide clinical leadership of the Integrated Front Door Team.
As Clinical Lead, you will play a pivotal role in shaping and embedding a compassionate, accessible and needs-led approach to supporting children, young people and their families at the earliest point of contact with services.
Working across organisational and professional boundaries, you will lead the development of effective access pathways, ensuring that children, young people, families and professionals receive timely advice, guidance and signposting to the most appropriate support. You will champion the principles of the THRIVE Framework, promoting the empowerment of families in achieving their health solutions, shared decision-making, early intervention and integrated care.
The post holder will have a passion for system wide working, be able to foster strong multi-agency partnerships, working collaboratively with health, social care, education, voluntary sector and community partners to improve outcomes and create a seamless experience for families. You will provide expert psychological leadership, consultation and supervision to multidisciplinary colleagues, supporting evidence-based practice and a psychologically informed culture across the system.
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 role requires a strategic and operational leader who can drive service development, influence system-wide change and ensure equitable access to support for children and young people. The successful candidate will combine advanced clinical expertise with excellent relationship-building skills, a commitment to innovation and a passion for collaborative working to deliver high-quality, responsive and person-centred care.
Employment in this post requires an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, which the Trust will cover the cost of. Applicants who subscribe to the DBS update service are able to present a valid DBS certificate instead of requiring a new check.
