Assistant Clinical Psychologist

Our CAMHS inpatient services work with young people with serious and complex mental health issues across three lodges at the Becton Centre: Emerald (ages 8-13), Sapphire (ages 13-18) and Ruby Lodge (for young people with learning disabilities). Psychologists at Becton work within the MDT, delivering assessments, formulation and therapeutic interventions, alongside working with parents/carers and external professionals. Assistant Psychologists support clinical work on the Lodges alongside collecting outcome measures and supporting research, audit and service development., Our Assistant Psychologist roles include supporting the development of the service through research, audit, co-production and participation work and service evaluation.
