Trosolwg o'r swydd

Are you motivated to support children and young people with autism, ADHD and other neurodevelopmental conditions?

Join our dedicated Neurodevelopmental Conditions (NDC) Pathway team, part of the integrated CAMHS service, and help make a real difference to the lives of children, young people and their families.

Our pathway focuses on understanding and meeting the emotional and mental health needs of children with suspected or diagnosed neurodevelopmental conditions. We aim to improve long-term wellbeing and reduce future mental health challenges through tailored, evidence-based interventions delivered by our multi-disciplinary team.

As an Assistant Psychologist, you’ll play a key role in supporting psychological assessments and interventions under the supervision of a Clinical Psychologist. You’ll work both independently and collaboratively, contributing to clinical work, service evaluation, data collection, audits, research and project work.

This is a fantastic opportunity to gain valuable experience in a supportive, forward-thinking environment. If you’re  committed to making a positive impact, we’d love to hear from you.
