Band 8b Clinical Psychology Role available offering clinical input and leadership across the Fylde Coast and based in the Fylde and Wyre Community Mental Health Team (CMHT)
We require a motivated, dynamic and experienced qualified Clinical Psychologist to join our well established team of Clinical Psychologists offering input to the Fylde Coast Community Mental Health Team. The post is well-established within the Fylde Coast and has become vacant due to the previous post-holder getting a promotion within the same Network. You would be joining a friendly and supportive team, who work well within the MDT, and seeing a broad range of clinical presentations. This is a great opportunity to develop therapeutic skills in Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and Compassion Focussed Therapy. Clinical and/or peer supervision can be provided in each of these modalities. In this role there are opportunities for direct and indirect/systemic clinical work, consultation, research, audit and clinical leadership.
The successful candidate will work with another Principal Clinical Psychologist who works into the Blackpool CMHT to provide joint clinical leadership and supervision to the Senior Clinical Psychologists, Senior CBT Therapist/EMDR Consultant, Assistant Clinical Psychologist and Trainee Clinical Psychologist(s) working within the teams. As a principal psychologist, there would be opportunity for the post holder to deputise for the psychology lead alongside other Principle Clinical Psychologist in Network. The post-holder will also be part of a wider and supportive team of psychological professionals within the Fylde Coast Network, which includes Older Adult and Inpatient psychology services.
The Fylde Coast is easily accessible via the M6 and M55 motorways. The nominated base for this is negotiable across the Fylde and Wyre CMHT and Access and Urgent Care Teams.
