Principal Clinical Psychologist / Cognitive Behaviour Therapist

We are looking to welcome an enthusiastic and experienced Principal Clinical/Counselling Psychologist/Cognitive Behaviour Therapist to our specialist team.

We are seeking someone with significant experience and expertise in treating anxiety using CBT. Prospective candidates should be able to demonstrate an excellent academic track record, specific postgraduate training, experience and accreditation in CBT, and a very good working knowledge of anxiety disorders and how to treat them. We are looking for colleagues who understand and believe in the importance of evidence-based treatments, supervision, research, training and dissemination. For this senior post, we are seeking an excellent clinician and skilled supervisor, as well as a trainer and innovator who can develop new pathways, services and ways of doing things. You will have experience managing people and ideally some experience with professional leadership and service management.

The clinic currently offers hybrid treatment delivery, but applicants will need to be willing and able to spend most of their time working in person in the clinic in South London. Job share, secondments, and part-time working (a minimum of 3 days per week) can be considered. Do please contact Dr Blake Stobie, Head of Service (blake.stobie@slam.nhs.uk) should you wish to discuss this post further.

• The successful applicant will provide a highly specialist psychology service to clients with anxiety disorders including specialist assessment, treatment, planning, implementation and monitoring of outcomes across primary, secondary and tertiary care
• They will offer supervision to qualified therapists, (honorary) assistant psychologists and trainees, and act as line manager to a team of clinicians.
• The applicant will ensure that systems are in place and working effectively to support service delivery, as well as take a lead on a specific area of clinical expertise or on a service stream in the clinic.

We are a relatively small team of approx. 20 substantive clinicians, 7 administrative support staff, and an additional approx. 20 trainees and clinicians on placement at any one time. We enjoy good links with King's College London, and provide teaching, training and supervision for KCL courses. We are a cohesive and high functioning team with excellent staff retention and morale.
