We are currently recruiting for a Locum Consultant Clinical Psychologist to join a specialist Tier 4 CAMHS inpatient service in Staffordshire. This is an exciting opportunity to work with children and adolescents presenting with complex mental health needs within a highly structured, therapeutic environment.

You will play a key leadership role within a multidisciplinary team, delivering evidence-based psychological interventions and shaping care pathways for young people requiring intensive inpatient support. The service works closely with NHS CAMHS, commissioners, and local authorities across the region, providing high-quality assessment, treatment, and risk management within a secure and supportive setting.

This role offers a strong clinical leadership remit, excellent team support, and the opportunity to make a meaningful difference at a critical stage in young people’s recovery journeys.

Responsibilities

  • Provide specialist psychological assessment, formulation, and intervention to children and adolescents with complex mental health difficulties
  • Lead on the psychological provision within the MDT, contributing to care planning, risk assessment, and discharge planning
  • Deliver evidence-based therapies tailored to young people in an inpatient setting
  • Provide clinical supervision and leadership to psychology colleagues and the wider team
  • Support service development, audit, and quality improvement initiatives
  • Work closely with families, carers, and external agencies including CAMHS teams and local authorities
  • Contribute to safeguarding processes and ensure high standards of clinical governance
  • Competitive locum rates
  • Flexible working arrangements
  • Opportunity to work at Consultant level within Tier 4 CAMHS
  • Highly supportive multidisciplinary team environment
  • Meaningful and impactful work with complex young people
  • Access to structured clinical programmes and resources
  • Opportunities to contribute to service development and leadership

Qualifications and Experience

  • Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (or equivalent)
  • HCPC registration as a Clinical Psychologist
  • Significant post-qualification experience working with children and young people
  • Experience working within CAMHS settings, ideally with complex or high-risk presentations
  • Strong formulation, risk management, and MDT working skills
  • Previous experience at Principal or Consultant level or in a senior leadership role
  • Experience within Tier 4 / inpatient CAMHS settings
  • Training in evidence-based therapies relevant to adolescents (e.g. CBT, DBT, systemic approaches)

We encourage applications from candidates who may not meet every requirement but have relevant and transferable experience.

Why Work with Pulse

  • Dedicated specialist consultant within Psychological Therapies
  • Access to exclusive roles nationwide
  • Streamlined compliance and registration process
  • Weekly payroll options
  • Ongoing placement support and career guidance
  • Opportunities across NHS and private sector services
