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 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.
