We are excited to be in the position to offer two substantive Clinical Psychologist roles within our Norfolk and Waveney under 18s eating disorders service. You will be part of multidisciplinary teams with one role based primarily in Norwich, and the other in Kings Lynn.
We will provide clinical supervision, specialist training and opportunities for professional development. You will have opportunity to receive specialist training in CBT for eating disorders and FT-AN (Maudsley Family Therapy for Anorexia Nervosa).
We are looking to appoint a skilled, committed, and motivated individual with excellent communication and organisational skills and a keen interest in working with families and young people. Previous experience working with individuals with eating disorders is ideal but not essential. We can accommodate some flexible working, in line with the service need and we are a Family Friendly and supportive team.
The role will include, but not be limited to: assessment, formulation and psychological treatment of individuals with eating disorders and co-morbid mental health difficulties, clinical responsibility for complex cases, supporting the Principal Clinical Psychologist with service development projects, providing clinical supervision, and providing consultation to colleagues and to external agencies. Our main models of practice are systemic and CBT so skills in those areas would be desirable.
If you are interested in joining skilled and passionate colleagues in delivering our under 18s eating disorders service, please look at the detailed Job Description for more information about this post.
We will consider applications from experienced clinical psychologists or newly qualified psychologists (on a Band 7-8a preceptorship basis).
