The successful post holder will join an experienced Principal Family and Systemic Psychotherapist and a range of other psychological professionals (Clinical Psychologists, art psychotherapists and child and adolescent psychotherapists) as part of the varied multidisciplinary team.
As well as joining an established group of psychological professionals within the inpatient CAMH Service, the successful postholder will join the supportive group of Family and Systemic Psychotherapists at Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation trust who meet regularly.
This post will be based on Emerald Lodge who support young people under the age of 13 with complex mental health presentations and will input into Ruby Lodge who support young people with learning disabilities and mental health presentations.

To maintain high‑quality clinical records in accordance with professional and Trust standards.
