<h2>Job summary</h2>
  <p>This role is located specifically within Core CAMHS. Core CAMHS is the part of the service offering evidence informed interventions for children and young people and their families who have moderate to severe difficulties. The post holder will ensure the systematic provision of a high-quality specialist clinical psychology intervention for Children, Young People and their families within our specialist mental health service. As a consultant you are a senior leader within the service and as such you would be expected to work alongside the Clinical Director, operational leads and principal grade psychologists to provide clinical support, expert consultation and supervision across specialist camhs and our service arm which offers supervision and consultation to the wider system (and partner agencies). We would expect you to have your own clinical case load and to 'lead by example'. As a Consultant Psychologist we would expect you to work autonomously within professional guidelines and exercise responsibility for governance of psychological practice within Children and Young People's mental health services. The post holder would be expected to provide clinical supervision and consultation to a range of professionals. As a senior leader you would be expected to propose and implement policy and service development changes within children's and young people's mental health services.</p>   <h3>Main duties of the job</h3>
  <p>Unlike our other Consultant Post within CAMHS, the post holder has particular responsibility to develop CBT interventions and consultation by providing supervision and training for our clinicians who work with children and young people with moderate to severe difficulties. While we are keen for someone with a strong CBT background, we expect the post holder to work trans diagnostically and embrace our core models which include systemic and attachment-based elements to our understanding and treatment of children.</p> <p>We would expect you to contribute to both the Leicester and Oxford University doctoral training programs including the provision of clinical placements, teaching, research supervision and membership of the doctoral course management boards as required.</p>
