Job overview:

Cornwall CAMHS is offering a new Developmental Post for Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy. The successful applicant will initially be employed at Band 7, progressing into a Band 8 position after two years. Progression will be based on the successful completion of competencies. This post will be based in Truro's Locality CAMHS, the Mid of the county. The successful applicant will be well supported in their development by senior Child Psychotherapists within the service.

Developmental competencies will be agreed with them in consideration of their current level of experience and the step up to a Band 8a job description.

This is an exciting time to join the Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy team in Cornwall, with two new posts having been recently created - this post and a Band 8a position in the West of the county.

Thanks to new investment, Cornwall CAMHS has expanded many of our teams and services continue to grow and develop.

As a service, we are actively seeking to develop our therapeutic offer for children and young people, with exciting research taking place into how we can use our resource-rich natural environment to support our work.

We are looking for an ACP registered Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist with a broad range of experience, including work with children, young people and families who present with a high level of complexity and require skilled and multi-layered assessments and intervention.

Main duties of the job:

The successful applicant will provide a range of specialist Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy interventions including Short Term Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (STPP), medium and long-term interventions, as well as State of Mind Assessments, observations, and inter-agency consultations.

There may also be potential to offer more intensive psychotherapeutic work (twice or thrice weekly sessions) where clinical need arises.

Working for our organisation:

We're an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital-based care to improve people's physical and mental health. We also provide specialist support to people with dementia or a learning disability.

We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you
