There is the potential to expand on these core roles, particularly in a Trust which was formed to bring together physical and mental health care in one organisation.
This post will suit an outgoing, mature and resilient person with an understanding of how to develop strong interdisciplinary relationships and a good reputation within an inpatient environment. Other useful characteristics will be a flexible, approachable and pro-active working style and a commitment to improving patient-focused and psychologically informed care.
We are keen to support the professional development of psychology staff and would encourage the post holder to consider and pursue further training opportunities in relation to leadership and/or relevant therapeutic modalities.
The successful candidate will join the collective group of Psychologists specialising in work with older people across the whole of Gloucestershire. The team currently comprises a Consultant Lead Psychologist, seven Clinical Psychologists and two assistants. We meet regularly for CPD, clinical and professional supervision and to work on joint service development and training projects. There are also good links with the local Clinical Psychology Training Course at Bath University with psychologists in Gloucestershire inputting to the Older Adult teaching programme, having trainees on placement and contributing to the selection process.
