This is a Principal Clinical Psychologist, part time of 18hrs, post within the Specialist Eating Disorders team for CAMHS which is a Greater Glasgow and Clyde wide service. Working within Specialist Children’s services in Greater Glasgow and Clyde, which encompasses Community Paediatrics, CAMHS & Acute Paediatrics, you will be committed to addressing the health and wellbeing needs of children, young people and their families.

You will work in a multi-disciplinary team whose aim is to provide high quality support, assessment and interventions in line with evidence-based practice and national policies/agendas.

You will have knowledge and experience of working in teams where care is coordinated and you will fully understand the impact of integrated care and services.

You will have professional registration and have relevant experience in planning and providing person centred and outcome-based care.

A strong culture of support, development, CPD, reflective practice and supervision exists to maximise our patient’s experience, safety and outcomes and your career progression.

We are ambitious in our visioning for the future and are clear about the need to further develop integrated services that ensure that children, young people and families receive the right support, at the right time and in a way that best meets their needs. As such, you will be required to be person centred and innovative in your thinking and practice, with excellent ability to communicate effectively and compassionately with children, young people, their families, health and partner agencies.

Now is a great time to come and work in Specialist Children’s Services. Our staff are at the heart of everything we do. We value and support career development with good opportunities for career progression. Tier 4 CAMHS are part of Specialist Children’s Services, providing mental health services in the community and through the Regional and National Inpatient Units.

Working in Tier 4 CAMHS offers the opportunity to be involved with a diverse service user population. We are committed to providing person centred care, trauma informed care and compassionate care in order to help young people on the road to recovery.

Tip: Think of AI as a helper, not a substitute. We want to understand you, not an AI tool.

  • Show us the real you: Your application should reflect your skills, experience, and motivations authentically.
  • Use AI wisely: It’s fine to use AI for ideas or to check spelling and grammar, but don’t let it write your answers.
  • Why this matters: Applications that rely on AI-generated content may be withdrawn. By applying, you confirm your responses are based on your own knowledge and achievements.
