Description
We are looking for a Clinical or Counselling Psychologist ready to bring their skills to one of the most rewarding specialist roles in child and adolescent mental health. This is a rare opportunity to join the Adopted and Care Experienced (ACE) team within Buckinghamshire CAMHS, a vibrant, dynamic, and deeply committed multi-disciplinary service working with complex and vulnerable children and young people across our county.
The work is varied, meaningful, and genuinely specialist. There are very few teams like ours across the country. You will work at the intersection of psychology, social care, education, and community partnerships, contributing to clinical work, consultation, training, reflective practice, and service development across a range of specialist clinics.
We invest in our people. You will have access to a good induction, professionally aligned supervision, and opportunities to develop skills in developmental trauma, attachment, mentalization-based approaches, and AMBIT, alongside well-regarded interventions delivered to foster carers, adoptive parents, and social care colleagues across Buckinghamshire.
We are supportive, reflective, and forward-thinking, with strong clinical leadership and a commitment to flexible working. We welcome colleagues who bring diverse perspectives and lived experience. Come and be part of something special.
As a Band 7 Clinical or Counselling Psychologist within the ACE team, you will provide specialist psychological assessment, formulation, and evidence-based therapeutic interventions to children and young people across a range of care settings. You will hold a defined caseload, acting as care coordinator where appropriate, and will contribute to multi-disciplinary working by providing expert psychological advice, consultation, and guidance to colleagues across CAMHS and partner agencies.
You will undertake risk assessment and risk management for the young people on your caseload, maintaining the highest standards of clinical record keeping in line with BPS, HCPC, and Trust requirements. You will provide clinical supervision to trainee and assistant psychologists as appropriate to your level of qualification, and contribute to the team's well-established training and consultation offer to social care, foster carers, and residential care staff.
Alongside your direct clinical work, you will be expected to contribute to service development, audit, and evaluation, drawing on current evidence-based research to continuously improve the quality and responsiveness of the service. You will work autonomously within professional guidelines while being fully supported by a robust supervision structure and a strong, experienced multi-disciplinary team.
Oxford Health is a great place to work and to be able to showcase the best of yourself when making an application please read the “candidate guide to making an application” and ensure your supporting statement is tailored to the role you are applying for and addresses any essential criteria.
As a Trust we provide physical, mental health and social care for people of all ages across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Swindon, Wiltshire, Bath and Northeast Somerset. Our services are delivered at community bases, hospitals, clinics and people’s homes, delivering care as close to home as possible. Our vision is that no matter who you are or where you are, you will tell us that you receive: “Outstanding care delivered by an outstanding team”
