Are you an experienced Psychologist, looking for a new challenge?

Do you want to join a supportive and forward thinking team?

Our Oxfordshire Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMHS) Eating Disorder Service (CAEDS) has recently expanded - we're developing innovative treatment pathways, such as PEACE - are are looking for someone who can really lead - or is looking to grow into a leadership role. 

Your overall aim is to provide specialist psychological expertise within Oxfordshire CAEDS and to have a lead role in supporting young people with complex presentation/those with comorbidities. Working in a large team offers plenty of opportunity to use higher-level skills including supervision, consultancy and leadership.

We're an inclusive and supportive team - you'll be working with other qualified psychologists, assistant psychologists, trainee psychologists, psychiatrists, paediatricians, nurses, dieticians, social workers, support workers and an occupational therapist. We're well supported by a excellent administration team too. 

We'll need you to be ambitious and have a positive attitude and outstanding clinical skills. Some experience of working within the field of eating disorders would be required, however we will consider applicants with less extensive experience but with a genuine interest in the client group and who would willing to undertake the required training. As a result, we're happy to open this up as a developmental opportunity too.

As a Clinical Psychologist working with young people with eating disorders and their families, no two days are the same.

Many of our young people are physically compromised and/or highly distressed often requiring input from other services at the same time. The clinical work is incredibly varied, but is always formulation driven and evidence-based. We work very closely with families and caregivers and also offer a range of individual therapies and group work.

The main component of the role will be to provide high quality specialist psychological treatments to patients and their carers/families using a range of modalities and to support other staff in providing these interventions (either through joint working or through supervision and consultation).

You will have a lead role in supporting the care of young people with complex presentations and comorbidities. They will liaise with other CAMHS teams and other NHS or statutory services and will regularly offer consultation to other teams.
