Prif ddyletswyddau'r swydd

Here is some feedback from trainees who have been on placement in the community team:

“the clients, close knit MDT and supportive supervisors make the community LD service a great place to work”

“lots of opportunities for getting involved with other aspects of the service, for example with staff wellbeing or the Service User Group”

“variety of interests within the psychology team which means you get to experience different models and perspectives. For example, there are opportunities to work systemically or from a trauma informed perspective”

We are currently working as a city-wide team and you will be expected to travel throughout Birmingham, with occasional out of area visits.  However, you will be based at one of our hubs across the city (Kings Norton, Small Heath or Erdington), with the aim of predominantly working with clients in the local area.  There may be opportunities for remote working within your working week, in balance with the needs of the MDT and our clients.  We will consider requests for part-time working.

You will be joining an established group of friendly, committed, and supportive Psychologists, banded from 8C to 7, as well as Assistant Psychologists and trainees. We have psychology colleagues in the Intensive Support Team and Community Forensic Team. We utilise an exceptionally broad range of psychological models depending upon client need, including behavioural (primarily PBS), adapted CBT, systemic, narrative, ACT, CAT, attachment, CFT and EMDR. Working within our team would give you exposure to these models and additional training is actively encouraged using our Learning Beyond Registration scheme. We have developed a thriving family therapy/ staff consultation service and have links with local and national LD services.

Our psychologists work closely with colleagues within our leadership team and MDT to strive for care that is trauma informed, compassionate and formulation based. We facilitate rolling group interventions, including Emotion Regulation and Tree of Life groups. We support a small number of clients who are living with complex physical health conditions, pain and co-morbidity, in order to improve their quality of life and reduce health inequalities. As Birmingham is a diverse and multi-cultural community, we are mindful of the additional challenges that clients from marginalised communities may encounter when accessing our services. Our team is actively engaged in research; we are keen to facilitate opportunities for supervising doctoral research as well as smaller scale quality improvement projects.

Our service offers opportunities to develop clinical leadership skills, be involved with clinical projects and pathway development.  The Psychology Service offers connection to and support from other psychologists through facilitated reflective practice groups, CPD events, forums and Special Interest Groups. There are strong links with the DClinPsy training course and the MSCi pathway at Birmingham University, as well as Coventry. There are opportunities for service user involvement work through our Service User Group. This challenges us to reflect upon and adapt our working practices and improve our clinical environment.
