So we invest heavily in training, provide first-class support, promote collaborative teamwork and give everyone on our team the opportunities and resources to achieve their full potential.
Set in the leafy suburb of Edgbaston, close to Birmingham City Centre, Priory Hospital Woodbourne is conveniently located for access to the West Midlands motorway network and with very good local public transport links.

The hospital provides a diverse range of inpatient services, including acute care for adults aged 18 - 25, psychiatric intensive care for adults aged 18 -65 years, Child and Adolescent Mental Health, specialist Eating Disorder (including day care) and private acute and addictions treatment programmes. Our multi-disciplinary teams deliver personalised treatment programmes to our patients and have established an excellent reputation for providing the highest standards of care.

We have a full time position available for a Psychologist working within our CAMHS inpatient mental health services. The position is working across 1 mixed gender ward (14 beds). This post will support our fulltime clinical CAMHS psychologist.

The candidate will be working within the multi-disciplinary team of Medical staff, Nursing staff and Occupational Therapy staff. The Psychologist will be providing evidence based psychological assessment as required, contributing to MDT care planning and review, facilitating formulation, reflective practice and debrief sessions and contributing to audit and research as directed by the line manager.

The successful candidate will be expected to provide psychological guidance and consultation to other professionals where applicable and must be able to work autonomously within professional guidelines and the overall framework of the team's policies and procedures.
