<h2>Job summary</h2>
  <p>Looking for the range of clinical work found in a friendly Community Mental Health Team?</p> <p>Still want the support of a Psychological Therapies Service?</p> <p>Do you have an area of interest you'd like the support and autonomy to develop?</p> <p>Then this is the role for you!</p> <p>This application is open to experienced Clinical Psychologists. The vacancy is within the West Wiltshire Community Mental Health Team (CMHT) and the Wiltshire Psychological Therapies Service, primarily based in Warminster, Devizes, and Trowbridge, while providing clinical services to the older adult population throughout Wiltshire.</p> <p>Working as part of both the Wiltshire PTS and CMHT offers psychologists the opportunity to treat a range of disorders and presenting difficulties. This means you can maintain your skills across a diverse client group or further develop a specialist interest, such as neuropsychology.</p> <p>In Wiltshire, the service is needs-led ('ageless'), offering care for both functional and organic conditions to all adults aged 18 and over. This role will focus on clients from the older adult population.</p>

For this senior role, you will be able to demonstrate experience of working with different client groups in secondary mental health settings, and of having been responsible for providing specialist assessments and interventions. You will need to show evidence of clinical leadership and innovations that have improved services in which you have worked.</p> <p>As the provision of supervision, consultation, and training to colleagues within the service is highly valued and an essential part of the role, being able to demonstrate skill and experience in this area would be an advantage. We would particularly value experience and/or training in neuropsychology, ACT, and group-based working.</p> <p>For the full Job Description and Person Specification, please refer to the attached documents.</p>

<p>The successful candidate will work within the Children in Care service alongside social workers, foster carers, and other health professionals. This role involves addressing the mental health and emotional well-being of children in care through consultation, training, and direct work across four days. The remaining day will be based within the Community CAMHS Team, holding a small caseload and supporting the team to deliver effective interventions for children in care.</p>
<p>This is an exciting time to join the service, as the local authority is investing in developing innovative care options for children, and the successful candidate will be part of this development.</p>
<p>Weston-super-Mare and Clevedon are thriving seaside towns within easy commuting distance of Bristol and Taunton. The M5 motorway is easily accessible.</p>



  <h3>Main duties of the job</h3>
  <p>This role involves delivering clinical expertise within specialist community services, aligned to a defined local care pathway serving a specific population--children who are looked after or under Special Guardianship Orders (SGO), referred by North Somerset CYPS.</p>
<p>The role also includes delivering training programmes to foster carers, social workers, and CAMHS clinicians to enhance their understanding of the impact of trauma on children in care. In addition to core clinical psychology skills, the successful candidate will have experience working with children in care and possess strong knowledge and skills in trauma-informed practices.</p>
<p>Whilst working closely with the local authority, clinical supervision and CPD will be provided through AWP CAMHS, which has a strong clinical psychology team and well-developed links with the University of Bath.</p>
<p>This post offers a high degree of autonomy, working across both health and social care sectors. The role is based at Weston Town Hall and North Somerset CAMHS @ Rowan/The Barn in Clevedon.</p>
