You will join a warm and experienced, multi-disciplinary team of clinicians - working together with Clinical Psychologists, Systemic Psychotherapists, Nurses, Social Workers, Psychiatrists, Child Psychotherapists and CBT therapists.

You will offer line management and supervision within the pathway to support the development of your colleagues and to support the safe and effective running of the pathway.

Our team provide a variety of comprehensive specialist assessments and evidence-based therapeutic interventions, including individual approaches (e.g. CBT, DBT, EMDR, IPT-A, VIG and psychotherapy), systemic and family work (e.g. Family Therapy clinics, parenting and narrative approaches), and group work (e.g. Non Violent Resistance and an outreach Boxing group).
