Job responsibilities

WiMT continues to expand significantly across North Yorkshire, York and Selby to meet national requirements of supporting 100% of education settings by 2030. This has created exciting opportunities for senior clinical leadership. This role has been established to provide strategic psychological oversight and specialist CBT leadership across a growing and increasingly complex system of care. The post is designed to ensure that service development, clinical governance, workforce capability and partnership working remain grounded in robust psychological expertise and evidence-based practice.

As Principal Psychologist, you will be responsible for providing visible and accessible psychological leadership across WiMT, ensuring the consistent delivery of high-quality interventions, strong clinical governance arrangements and psychologically informed decision making. Alongside the Service Manager and Advanced Clinical Specialist, you will be a key member of the WiMT Senior Leadership Team and contribute to service planning, operational development, workforce strategy and transformation programmes across the wider children and young people's mental health system.

You will provide expert consultation relating to complex presentations, maintain oversight of therapeutic pathways and support practitioners delivering interventions aligned with NICE guidance and evidence-based psychological models. Emphasis will be placed on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and systemic practice, underpinned by formulation-driven, trauma-informed and neuroaffirmative approaches, with the explicit aim of reducing inequalities in access and outcomes.

A key element of the role will be acting as the CBT Lead for Children and Young People's Mental Health Services across North Yorkshire, York and Selby. You will provide specialist leadership for CBT practice, support service-wide developments in psychological therapies and promote consistency, quality and innovation across services.

You will oversee supervision structures for EMHPs, Senior Wellbeing Practitioners and other psychological therapy staff delivering governed psychological interventions, ensuring practitioners are supported to provide safe, effective and evidence-based care. Workforce development, reflective practice, consultation and the promotion of psychologically informed leadership will form an important part of the role.

You will also play a significant role in strengthening relationships with education settings and partners. This includes supporting senior mental health leads, Multi Academy Trusts, local authorities and specialist services to develop whole-school and college approaches to mental health and emotional wellbeing. The role requires an individual who can work confidently across organisational boundaries and contribute to system-wide approaches that improve outcomes for children, young people and families.

The successful candidate will be an HCPC-registered Practitioner Psychologist with substantial post-qualification experience in child and adolescent mental health services, significant experience working with educational settings and a strong track record of clinical leadership, service development and partnership working. Current BABCP accreditation and a recognised CBT supervision qualification are essential (e.g. PGCert in Clinical supervision for CYP IAPT). If all other essential criteria are met commitment to gain this supervision qualification within the first year of the role may be considered. The ability to travel independently between settings during the working day to undertake the role is essential.

Psychologists & Psychological Therapists provide key leadership roles within the Trust. To support this we have developed leadership profiles for each psychology band and the profile card associated with this post is attached on NHS Jobs.

Job summary

We are seeking a Clinical, Counselling or Forensic Psychologist (Band 8a) to join the Norfolk and Suffolk Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) Service for 22.5 hours per week. Applications are also welcomed from experienced Band 7 Psychologists wishing to progress through a supported preceptorship pathway into the full Band 8a role.

This varied post spans two complementary services: the Core OPD Service and IIRMS (see descriptions below). The role combines consultation, training, reflective practice, formulation-led intervention and multi-agency collaboration. You will support professionals and services to develop psychologically informed approaches to risk, relationships and behaviour, while contributing to work with individuals presenting with complex emotional and interpersonal difficulties.

Whilst there is some opportunity for direct face-to-face work within the IIRMS service, much of the role involves influencing outcomes indirectly through consultation, formulation and support to professionals, teams and multi-agency systems.

The NSFT team base is at Northside House, Norwich. Attendance is typically required every other week, including Wednesdays when the team comes together for meetings, reflective practice and service development. The role also requires regular travel to probation, NHS and partner agency sites across Norfolk and Suffolk. Hybrid working can be supported where service needs allow.

Main duties of the job

The post holder will work across two services:

Core OPD Service

The Core OPD Service works across Norfolk and Suffolk to enhance the knowledge, confidence and skills of probation practitioners and partner agencies when working with individuals who present with personality difficulties, complex trauma and significant offending-related risks. The service delivers consultation, training, reflective practice and formulation-informed support to help staff and systems respond effectively to complexity.

Intensive Intervention and Risk Management Service (IIRMS)

The Intensive Intervention and Risk Management Service (IIRMS) is a specialist, formulation-driven service supporting a small caseload of approximately 15 service users at any one time. The service works with individuals presenting with high levels of complexity, need and risk and provides intensive support through a "through the gate" approach, supporting people as they transition from custody into the community for up to two years. The service aims to improve engagement, wellbeing, stability and risk management through psychologically informed interventions and close multi-agency working.
