The Psychological Therapies team in CAMHS comprises approx 30 members of staff, over two sites, and includes Clinical Psychologists, Clinical Associates, and Systemic Family Therapists. This post will be managed and supervised through the Psychological Therapies Service based in Dundee. Opportunities exist for part-time working with flexibility in respect of a hybrid model of having some time working remotely, should this be sought.

Whilst opportunities are available for involvement in a range of the clinical activities of the Psychological Therapies Service, this post is predominantly focussed on the development and improvement of Paediatric Neurodevelopmental services with an expectation of specialist experience and training in this field. In addition to a small team of psychologists involved in this work, there is also a large team of multidisciplinary clinical colleagues and support staff to progress the agendas of delivering efficient, high quality services which can be readily accessed and are responsive to the changing needs of this population

In addition to direct clinical work this post will linked closely to the multidisciplinary teams and partner agencies to support and enhance the professional psychological care of clients within the service. There will be regular opportunities for supervision and future opportunities to pursue further training or involvement with clinically relevant research and training initiatives. This represents an excellent opportunity to join an established and supportive team with good links within both CAMHS and the wider NHS Tayside Psychological Therapies Service.
