Variety, creativity, flexibility at work, and making a difference to people’s lives are some of the top reasons Clinical Psychologists love to work in our Learning Disabilities Services.
We are looking for a Senior Clinical or Counselling Psychologist to join our North Oxfordshire Learning Disability Team. As a service, we are active within the regional LD SIG (Bucks, Berks and Oxon) and BPS Faculty for People with Intellectual Disabilities.
We are a friendly and supportive group with CPD and reflective practice prioritised and protected. We also have a pioneering Intensive Interaction service within the psychology team, and there will be opportunities to learn from this approach.
In this role, you will have the opportunity to develop your skills as a Clinical Psychologist, including specialist intervention and assessment skills and leadership opportunities (supervision, service development, consultation, and more) within the Learning Disability Multi-Disciplinary Team.
Within the role, you will have the opportunity to deliver a range of assessments: eligibility, dementia, behaviours of concern, and (with additional training) autism.
You will have the opportunity to deliver a range of interventions: individual therapy (adapting CBT, third wave and/or systemic – and more! – as appropriate to the client and presenting problem), indirect support to carers and family teams (team formulations, co-creating PBS plans, carer support and education), consultation to colleagues (reflective case discussion meetings, formulation meetings), and supervision (assistant psychologists and trainee clinical psychologists dependent on post-qualification experience).
You will have the opportunity to run psychology-related teaching and training for the teams and to be a part of our teaching for the University of Oxford Clinical Psychology course. With the relevant post-qualification experience and training, you will be supported to become a supervisor for trainee clinical psychologists.
As a Trust, we provide physical, mental health, and social care for people of all ages across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Swindon, Wiltshire, Bath, and North East Somerset. Our services are delivered at community bases, hospitals, clinics, and people’s homes, delivering care as close to home as possible. Our vision is that no matter who you are or where you are, you will tell us that you receive: “Outstanding care delivered by an outstanding team.”
Our values are: “Caring, safe, and excellent.”
At Oxford Health, we offer a wide range of benefits designed to support your career and wellbeing. These include:
1. Excellent opportunities for career progression
2. Individual and Trust-wide learning and development
3. 27 days annual leave, plus bank holidays, rising to 33 days with continuous service
4. NHS Discount
5. Pension scheme
6. Lease car scheme
7. Employee Assistance Programme
8. Mental Health First Aiders
9. Staff accommodation (waiting lists may apply)
10. Staff networking and support groups
We champion staff wellbeing and work within a hybrid working from home/in office/community model, finding ways to maintain social as well as professional links. The team covers a wide geographical area and visits service users in the community. Across the teams, we also benefit from free tea and coffee as well as free parking at some of our bases.
