Clinical Psychologist
A specialist Lancashire mental health organisation is now looking for a Clinical Psychologist to join them at their independent CAMHS unit in Accrington, supporting young people aged 13-19 years with complex social, emotional and mental health needs and who may have a history of trauma.
Based primarily around the Dialectical Behaviour Therapy model of care, the MDT implements tailored programmes of therapeutic rehabilitation and support across two 10-bed units purpose-built to offer both the optimum level of safety and a private, comfortable living environment conducive to recovery.
Through psychiatric assessment and stabilisation, rehabilitation, and step-down services, vulnerable young people are supported through times of crisis and to make a smooth transition to more community-based care.
Plans are in the works to expand for solo placements and semi-independent flats as well.
As a Clinical Psychologist, you will deliver effective, person-centred talking therapies under the supervision of a Senior Clinical Psychologist and support holistic rehabilitation as part of a strong MDT; helping young people to understand and manage their emotions, better cope with unexpected challenges, and make real and lasting improvements in their mental health.
