Perinatal Mental Health Services in Nottinghamshire is expanding. We are keen to recruit Clinical Psychologists or Therapists who are passionate about the emotional wellbeing of women in the perinatal period and their infants. You will have the opportunity to undertake initial assessments and direct one-to-one and group-based therapeutic work with women experiencing a wide range of mental health problems, often relating to complex trauma or attachment difficulties.
You will also have the opportunity for indirect working, offering supervision, consultation, and training to both colleagues within the MDT and the wider maternity system.
The service is also seeking to develop psychological interventions across multiple pathways within and between services, and so you will be invited to contribute to innovative service design and improvement. We are keen to recruit people who enjoy working in multi-disciplinary teams and who are creative, adaptable, and responsive to the needs of the service. We are looking for someone who is passionate about working with women and their families and whose values and principles are aligned with the organisation, including compassion and a person/family-centred focus. These posts offer a supportive team working environment, with a commitment to supervision.
You will be a car owner/driver and hold a current driving licence, unless you have a disability as defined by the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. In return for your skills and commitment, we offer investment in personal development, access to the NHS Pension Scheme, generous holiday entitlement, and flexible working opportunities.
Responsibilities include:
1. To plan and provide specialist psychological assessments and interventions in the community.
2. To provide specialist psychological advice, guidance, consultation, training, and supervision to other professionals, and to assistant psychologists and trainee clinical psychologists.
3. To accept responsibility for maintaining a safe working environment for all staff and users.
4. To carry out other tasks as requested by the Head of Service.
