Priory Hospital Dewsbury is situated in a community location in West Yorkshire. The hospital provides a specialist inpatient service for adults and older age males with severe and enduring mental health conditions, who may also have an undiagnosed memory-related illness. We also provide a specialist neurocognitive/dementia care service for males presenting with very agitated or aggressive behaviour.
The hospital is split as follows:
1. Hartley Ward – rehabilitation and recovery for severe and enduring mental health.
2. Jubilee Ward – neurocognitive/dementia service for those showing agitated or aggressive behaviour.
Both wards focus on active rehabilitation and recovery for those requiring a bespoke package of care.
The Psychologist will work closely with the hospital director, director of services, and medical director. It will be the responsibility of the Lead Psychologist to ensure both the professional psychological practice and quality of the psychology department, ensuring excellence in patient experience and outcomes.
You will be a confident leader who is keen to help develop others. You will understand the dynamics of working in both hospital and other healthcare environments and be able to help offer containment and support to those who need it within a culture of compassion. You will provide leadership to the MDT and contribute to the development of services.
