Variety, creativity, flexibility at work, and making a difference to people’s lives are some of the top reasons Clinical Psychologists love to work in our Learning Disabilities Services!
We're looking for a Clinical or Counselling Psychologist to join our City and South Oxfordshire Learning Disability Team. As a service we are active within the regional LD SIG (Bucks, Berks and Oxon), and BPS Faculty for People with Intellectual Disabilities.
We are a friendly and supportive group with CPD and reflective practice prioritised and protected. We have a pioneering Intensive Interaction service within the psychology team and there will be opportunities to learn from this approach.
You'll have the opportunity to develop key clinical skills in assessment and a variety of interventions as well as other elements of a Clinical Psychology role (such as consultation, supervision and service development) within the Learning Disability Multi-Disciplinary Team.
We work within a hybrid working from home/in office/community model and find ways to maintain social as well as professional links. The team cover a wide geographical area and visit service users in the community, so the ability to travel independently between sites within the Trust is essential for this role.
We welcome applications from 3rd year trainees due to qualify in 2025.
Responsibilities:
1. Deliver a range of assessments: eligibility, dementia, behaviours of concern and (with additional training) autism.
2. Deliver a range of interventions: individual therapy (adapting CBT, third wave and/or systemic – and more! – as appropriate to the client and presenting problem), indirect support to carers and family teams (team formulations, co-creating PBS plans, carer support and education), consultation to colleagues (reflective case discussion meetings, formulation meetings) and supervision (assistant psychologists and trainee clinical psychologists dependent on post qualification experience).
3. Run psychology related teaching and training for the teams and to be a part of our teaching for the University of Oxford Clinical Psychology course. With the relevant post-qualification experience and training you will be supported to become a supervisor for trainee clinical psychologists.
