We are seeking a dynamic and experienced Psychologist to join our team as an Eating Disorder Therapist.

The successful candidate will play an important role in supporting and developing the workforce through the provision of clinical support and supervision to Health Professional Level 1 clinicians, Allied Health Assistants and students. You will actively contribute to professional development activities, clinical supervision, quality improvement initiatives and multidisciplinary team processes that strengthen service delivery and client outcomes.

This position offers the opportunity to work across a specialised and highly regarded service while also contributing to the broader Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) program. The role may include occasional support to the Eating Disorders Clinical Hub (EDCH) and requires flexibility to work across all CAMHS program areas in response to service needs.
