Clinical Psychologist

Overview

NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and skilled Clinical Psychologist to join the North Highland CAMH service. Whether you are an experienced clinician looking for an exciting change or at the early stages of your career, we want to hear from you. Our Clinical Psychologist work across a range of clinical teams in CAMHS, such as Core, Learning Disability, Eating Disorders, Care Experienced, Paediatric Health, iCAMHS.

This post will be job planned to work in the team(s) who require additional CP capacity, although we are also interested to provide opportunities for clinicians to develop their skills in areas of interest. Whilst we have many different specialties within our team, we have the advantage of many of us being located in The Phoenix Centre, next to Raigmore Hospital, providing opportunity for both support and learning from MD colleagues across the service.

We are in the fortunate position of attracting many new members to our Child and Adolescent Mental Health team over the past couple of years. We are proud of the developments we have been able to achieve together as a growing multidisciplinary team. There is an energy and optimism that we can continue to see our service grow and continually improve for the children and young people we serve, but there is a lot of work still to do.

We are interested in learning about what you are passionate about, we want to benefit from your skill set, but also see you grow and develop in your role. We are supportive of CPD and ensuring we know your training needs identified through your personal appraisal and offering opportunities for post qualification training in specific therapeutic modalities.

The Highlands are a playground for those loving the outdoors. If you are not active coming here, you run the risk of becoming that way! There is stunning geography for you to explore but also urban amenities like Eden Court Theatre, restaurants, bars and shops in Inverness. If you enjoy (or see the benefit even!) of loch swimming, there are opportunities to go after work with the hardier members of our team.

If you are interested in making the move to Inverness and would like to talk to members of our team who have done this do let us know and we can set up a conversation for you to find out more.

Part-time hours will be considered and a relocation package may be available.
