Job Overview
We are seeking a passionate and skilled Clinical Psychologist to take on a unique and pioneering role bridging CAMHS and Children’s Social Care in Jersey. This joint post is dedicated to improving the emotional wellbeing and life outcomes of Children in Care and those on the edge of care.

You will hold oversight of children open to both CAMHS and Social Care, ensuring coordinated, multi-agency care planning, evidence-based interventions, and high-quality reporting.
This is a rare opportunity to shape practice and policy at the intersection of health and social care; working directly with senior leaders to inform strategy, training, and service improvement for some of Jersey’s most vulnerable young people.
Key aspects of the role include:

- Leading on multi-agency formulation, care coordination, and standardised treatment planning.
About You:
You will be an HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist with significant experience in child and adolescent mental health, trauma, and attachment-informed practice. You will be confident in working systemically and collaboratively across agencies, with the leadership and communication skills to influence change.
