We offer a range of psychological therapies across these teams. We have close links with other agencies including the local ‘tier 2' CYPM service, school link workers, Mental Health Support Teams, and children's social services. As a service, we are keen to promote continuing professional development (CPD) and research opportunities. We offer placements to trainees within all psychological therapies and have strong links with local training courses. We value clinical supervision, both peer group and individual. We are an innovative and dynamic service, working as a multi-disciplinary team to address new challenges, and we are looking for an enthusiastic Systemic Psychotherapist to join us in going forward.
