Trosolwg o'r swydd
Tameside and Glossop Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) is based in Stalybridge, Tameside. We are a multidisciplinary team providing a mental health service to children, young people and their families. The service has well-established links with our partner agencies including Education, Children’s Social Care (CSC) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organizations, and as a locality well on the way to being fully aligned to the Thrive approach to delivering mental health services. We are committed to supporting our staff in their development with great access to CPD opportunities, a robust clinical and management supervision structure, and access to an in-house training programme covering key areas of clinical practice as part of your induction.
T&G CAMHS is extremely proud to be a forward-thinking service with a long history of innovative service development. Examples include being home to the long-established Early Attachment Service (now Parent Infant Mental Health Service; PIMHS) which is a nationally recognised, specialist under 5 service. Recent investment has also supported the establishment of a highly innovative relationship-focussed and trauma-informed therapeutic service (The Family Intervention and Therapy Service; FITS) working in partnership with Children’s Social Care at all levels of the Early Help/Child in Need/ Child Protection Framework.

We are looking to recruit a band 8a (or band 7 preceptorship into 8a) Highly Specialist Clinical Psychologists into our service.

We would be keen to hear from applicants who would be interested in a preceptorship post starting on a band 7 with a move to 8a after a period of experience and development in the post, which is supported by a Trust-level framework and process.
