This is a unique opportunity to apply your learning from weekly teaching into practical clinical interventions working with clients in the service making a direct impact in the lives of children, young people and their families.

The successful candidate will receive a full-time salary whilst undertaking 2.5 days of training and 2.5 days of working clinically at Noa Girls each week. Upon completion, qualified trainees will receive a UCL Postgraduate Diploma.
The salary is commensurate with a band 6 NHS salary (up to mid-point). Your university fees are fully funded.
The training placement includes supervision by clinicians specialising in CBT as well as in-house support by a clinical psychologist.
