You will provide a direct clinical service to adults admitted to the wards. You will oversee psychology groups and provide specialist psychological assessment, therapy and interventions to service users making use of a range of models, where appropriate. You will also provide consultancy, training and advice to other clinical staff, offering regular reflective practice. This is a great opportunity to join a caring and compassionate network of inpatient psychologists. You will work closely with the lead clinical psychologist and alongside two assistant psychologists. There will be regular supervision and CPD opportunities as well as informal support. Together with the ward leadership teams you will drive forward the development and embedding of the clinical models of care. These include Positive Behaviour Support and the Self-harm Pathway. Developing and embedding clinical guidelines, pathways and processes will be integral to this role, helping to hold the psychological framework, and trauma informed care in mind.
We very much welcome applications from those already qualified and those due to qualify in 2024. We have an excellent preceptorship programme and are committed to staff development and training.

We’re currently delivering a programme of organisational and service transformation to significantly improve the quality of the services we provide and safely reduce cost as we do so.

You will be a team player, part of a supportive multidisciplinary team delivering multi tiered psychosocial interventions. We will be particularly keen if you have a strong background in person centred and human rights based approaches to healthcare, with a positive attitude and a strong understanding and commitment to integrated team working.
You will have a strong commitment to social justice as we are committed to supporting people from socially disadvantaged communities. You will have excellent communication and people skills and a proven passion for improving the lives of clients and their families.
You may be expected to audit and evaluate a range of outcomes in terms of the benefit for service users, staff and the wider service. An active interest in research, publication and supporting others to develop their evaluation skills will be an advantage.
This post is suitable for newly qualified and current clinicians. Relevant training, support and experience will be provided to ensure that if you’re successful, you will be eligible to apply for preceptorship to an 8a clinical psychology post - if professional qualifications allow and after demonstrating significant demonstrable post qualifying experience.
If you already have relevant training and experience, you will be able to start at band 8a.
