You will be supervised by a registered Clinical Psychologist in line with BPS requirements.

The team will be specifically working with young people presenting with issues related to clinical risk and the offer will be intensive intervention.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and IT literate individual, with an eye for detail and excellent communication and presentation skills, as engaging with a range of stakeholders is a key aspect of the role.

Dynamic, innovative, committed and passionate, you'll bring a comprehensive knowledge and skill-base to the challenge of working with vulnerable children and families.
