This includes the opportunity to build on the team's research and publication in this area of work. We have published two papers related to what we have learnt from consultations with teams and residential children's homes. Most recently we have contributed with a chapter on a upcoming book on the issue of safety and protection from danger within residential children's homes. We would also be keen to meet with you to explore any specific skills and experience that you might bring and wish to further develop in your role. About you We are looking forward to welcoming a Clinical Psychologist who is committed to enable and promote positive change in people's lives. Someone enthusiastic and compassionate who works well with others and that will enhance our team. Your interest in learning from ongoing experience will be demonstrated on how you use evidence base to correlate to new learning. We use formulation as our entry point to all interventions, so your ability to remain curious and open to what a presentation might represent as well as what could be the most effective intervention with someone is very important to us. We believe that families can be helped and that we can play a role is supporting parents to achieve their best potential so family breakdown can be prevented.
