Senior Clinical Psychologist (preceptorship opportunity) - CFHD
Devon Partnership NHS Trust View all jobs
Posted 24 day(s) ago
Reference: 2289539
Job summary
We are delighted to be recruiting a Senior Clinical Psychologist with preceptorship opportunity (Band 7-8a) to join the Eating Disorder Pathway within Children and Family Health Devon (CFHD).
This role is offered as a full time opportunity throughout the preceptorship at Band 7, decreasing to 30 hours (0.8 WTE), at Band 8a on completion.
The post is based in South Devon & Torbay.
This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to the development and delivery of high-quality psychological care for children and young people experiencing difficulties with restrictive eating disorders.
The Eating Disorder pathway is part of our wider integrated model of care in CFHD, supporting young people with difficulties such as low mood, anxiety, emotional dysregulation and relational challenges. You will be part of a supportive, multi-disciplinary team, working closely with colleagues across health, education and social care to deliver formulation-driven, trauma-informed interventions.
This is an ideal role for Clinical Psychologists looking to develop or take on senior responsibilities with a blend of therapeutic work, clinical leadership and service development, in a beautiful part of the country.
Main duties of the job
As a Clinical Psychologist in the eating disorder pathway, you will be offering high-quality complex assessments and psychological input to children, young people and families. You will bring advanced formulation and consultation skills alongside wider service development contributions. While eating disorders are a specialist area, you will be working with various comorbidities such as anxiety, OCD, BDD and trauma. We offer cognitive assessments as well as opportunities to develop systemic practice. This makes it a great opportunity to gain specialist knowledge whilst maintaining variety.
There will be CPD opportunities to support you. For example, colleagues have accessed training in ARFID, AFT, TF-CBT and other models.
We are keen to support CBT for eating disorders as an offer within the pathway and would welcome applications from those already trained, or who wish to undertake further training such as CBT-E and CBT-T.
We encourage interest from candidates with diverse backgrounds and experiences, both personal and professional.
You will have regular clinical supervision and separate line management. You will be supported with a job plan and opportunities to develop supervision, leadership, research and service development skills. There is a strong and friendly network of Clinical Psychologists working across CFHD, enjoying shared CPD and professional support. We also have excellent links with local Doctoral courses for teaching and Trainee placements.
About us
At Children and Family Health Devon, we are dedicated to improving the physical and mental health of children and young people across Devon and Torbay. We aim to create an environment where children and young people can thrive and are committed to reducing health inequalities and providing specialised support, empowering them to lead healthy, fulfilling lives.
Our children and young people say
We would like the people who work for Children and Family Health Devon to be understanding, patient and respectful. They should be trustworthy and make us feel safe and comfortable.

Main duties of the job
- Join in with the cooking activity so patients dont feel overlooked.
- Ensure all participants are engaged in some ways and be ready to prompt people into action.
- Assist patients with their task when they look stuck or unsure empower them to do it rather than doing it for them.

- Support kitchen clean-up.
