An exciting opportunity has arisen, due to promotion of the post holder, for a Clinical Psychologist to join the Preston CMHT Team.
The successful applicant will be joining an enthusiastic team of nine Clinical Psychologists and Psychological Therapist across Central and West Lancashire. CPD, and personal interests are actively encouraged and supported, and appropriate Clinical, Professional and Management supervision, will be provided.
Preston has good motorway links to Manchester, Liverpool and the Lake District. The service takes Trainees from, and has good relationships with, the local Clinical Psychology Training Courses based in Manchester, Liverpool and Lancaster.
*The Welcome Bonus is only available to candidates who are not currently employed (or who have not been employed in the last 12 months) by any NHS provider Trust in the Lancashire & South Cumbria (LSC) Integrated Care System (ICS) in a like-for-like role or core profession. For example, a Band 6 Occupational Therapist / Social Worker / Mental Health Nurse at another Trust in the LSC ICS would not be eligible for the bonus if moving to a Band 6 Occupational Therapist / Social Worker / Mental Health Nurse role at LSCFT or in a role such as Mental Health Practitioner Role that requires the same profession.
These trusts are:
• University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay Trust
• East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust
• Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

These incentives are subject to recovery clauses within the first 6 months of employment. This bonus is applicable from 1st July 2024 – 30th November 2024.
