Job description

Overview

Go back South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust – CAMHS Clinical Specialist Practitioner (N&S DBT).

The closing date is 02 October 2025

The N&S CAMHS DBT Service is looking for an experienced and committed CAMHS Clinical Specialist to join our established Dialectical Behaviour Therapy team. This is a fantastic opportunity to join us in delivering a high-quality, evidence-based Dialectical Behaviour Therapy programme with young people and their parents and carers. There are also opportunities to be involved in our active programme of research and service evaluation, as well as teaching, supervision and consultation to other NHS teams.

We believe diversity is a strength and we particularly welcome applications from those underrepresented in psychology, i.e. minoritised racial, ethnic and cultural groups, as well as people from all marginalised groups, communities and backgrounds.

  • Please note applications from a range of qualified professions are welcomed (see JD and person specification); DPsych Clinical / Counselling trainees who are in the final stages of completing their doctorate would be considered for this job provided they anticipate completion. However, special transitional arrangements will be put in place, if proof of qualification and HCPC registration have not been received by the start date, and provided all clinical placements have been passed.

(This may include working early mornings, later evenings or Saturdays as part of the core working hours / working pattern for this post)

    Job responsibilities

  • Provide specialist assessments with young people and carers to determine the appropriateness of DBT as a treatment for the young person's range of difficulties.

  • Be part of a supportive DBT consultation team to support you and other therapists in working effectively within the DBT model.
  • Provide training to other professionals on working with young people with emotion dysregulation and engaging in high-risk behaviours and on DBT more generally.
  • Work with complex professional networks, including social workers, GPs, local CAMHS care coordinators, in order to most effectively support young people and their families.
