Job overview
There is a fantastic opportunity to work with older adults in a secondary mental health setting to help improve their psychological wellbeing and develop a broad range of clinical skills.
We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and motivated Clinical/Counselling Psychologist to join our Stepped Care Therapy Team within Older Peoples’ Mental Health Services in Peterborough.
The friendly team comprises Clinical/Counselling Psychologists, CBT Therapists, Occupational Therapists, and Occupational Therapy Assistants. We host placements for Trainee Clinical Psychologists predominantly from the University of East Anglia. We are a proactive team with a strong plan for the further development of the provision of psychology.
The Team links in with integrated community services, mental health practitioners, the Memory Assessment Service, and the Social Care Team. The breadth of work is ideal for a newly qualified or experienced Clinical or Counselling Psychologist.
Relocation packages are available subject to eligibility.
Main Duties of the Job:
The candidate’s role would include the provision of assessment, formulation, and evidence-based intervention including, where appropriate, specialist neuropsychological assessment. There is an expectation that the post holder would provide consultation input for non-psychology colleagues. The role would involve multidisciplinary working with both mental and physical health staff.
There will also be opportunities to be involved in wider directorate endeavours. We also have a great CPD programme within the service, both amongst the SCT and wider mental health service. We have been able to support members of the wider psychological service to engage in additional training, including CBT for personality disorder and psychosis, EMDR, and DBT skills. There is active interest in developing neuropsychological components of the service to support memory assessment.
If you are looking for a new challenge, enjoy variety in your work, and wish to be part of a team striving to make a difference for our community by supporting older people with functional and organic mental health needs, then we want to hear from you.
Working for Our Organisation:
Cambridgeshire & Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust is a health & social care organisation dedicated to providing high-quality care with compassion to improve the health & wellbeing of the people we care for, as well as supporting & empowering them to lead a fulfilling life.
Our clinical teams deliver many NHS services not only via inpatient and primary care settings but also within the community. These services include Children, Adult & Older Peoples mental & physical health, Forensic & Specialist mental health, Learning Disabilities, Primary Care & Liaison psychiatry, Substance misuse, Social care, Research & Development.
To achieve our goal, we look to recruit high calibre candidates that share our vision & values. As an equal opportunities employer, we encourage applications from all sectors of the community, particularly from under-represented groups including disabled people & members of our ethnic minorities & LGBTQ+ communities.
