Are you looking for an opportunity to work with children and young people, and their families?
Do you have a passion and enthusiasm for supporting young people to improve their mental health and reach their potential?
We are looking to recruit a temporary Band 4 Assistant Psychologist to Lancaster and Morecambe CAMHS / Children's Psychological Service (CPS) for a 6 month period. We are a part of Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust.
Our Area
The north of Lancashire is a beautiful, and often overlooked, part of the country. There is easy access to the countryside and the coast; the Forest of Bowland and the Lake District are both within easy driving distance. You could leave the office and be at the shore of Lake Windermere in 45 minutes. There are direct trains from Lancaster to Manchester (fastest journey time - 60 mins); Glasgow (fastest journey time - 2hrs 10mins); and London (fastest journey time - 2 hrs 35mins).
Despite Lancaster being a small city it is home to two universities; two theatres; a active music scene, a large city park; many restaurants and several independent coffee shops. The people of Lancashire are friendly and welcoming. There is a clinical psychology doctoral training course based at Lancaster University which means we benefit from having local trainee clinical psychologists on placement with us.
