You will work across both the Women's Secure Blended Service and the Secure CAMHS service, which are both located within Ardenleigh Hospital. The Ardenleigh site hosts two services, both with an incredible national reputation. Both services have a strong multidisciplinary team ethos, in which the psychological therapies team is well established and respected.

Innovation within the services is strongly encouraged. 



 <h3>Main duties of the job</h3>
 This exciting role offers the suitable candidate opportunities to provide individual and group interventions to both adults and young people. You will join a large and diverse psychological therapies team, consisting of clinical and forensic psychologists, arts therapists, specialist psychological practitioners and assistant psychologists.
