Job Summary
Clinical Psychologist Full-time, Permanent.
The Opportunity to Shape the Future of Addiction Treatment
Bosence has been successfully providing residential addiction treatment for nearly 30 years, but the landscape of addiction care is evolving, and we are ready to evolve with it. Our existing therapeutic programme has supported thousands of individuals on their recovery journey, yet we recognize the need for a modern, inclusive approach that aligns with the latest evidence-based practices. We are embarking on a transformative project to completely overhaul our programme, bringing it up to date, broadening its scope, and making it more person-centred to enhance accessibility for a much wider range of people. This is an exciting opportunity for a forward-thinking Clinical Psychologist to lead this transformation, design a bespoke programme, and continue to adapt and refine it for years to come.
About Us
Bosence Farm Community is a respected UK charity providing detox, stabilisation, and rehab services to individuals overcoming substance misuse. We are passionate about delivering compassionate, trauma-informed care that changes lives. Located in the beautiful countryside of Cornwall, we offer a unique setting for both our staff and the individuals we support.
Main Duties of the Job
The Role
This is a rare chance to shape the future of addiction treatment by designing and leading a cutting-edge therapeutic programme. As a Clinical Psychologist at Bosence, you will:
* Reimagine Our Programme: Assess the effectiveness of our current therapeutic approaches, including the 12-Step model, and develop a broader, evidence-based programme that integrates trauma-informed care.
* Collaborate: Engage with local and national networks, service users, staff, and other stakeholders to ensure the new programme is inclusive, effective, and tailored to diverse needs.
* Lead: Take ownership of the programme's implementation, guiding our passionate team through this transformative change.
* Innovate: Keep learning, reviewing, and adapting the programme to remain at the forefront of addiction treatment.
About You
We are looking for a Clinical Psychologist with the vision and expertise to lead this transformation. You will need:
* Qualifications: HCPC registration as a Clinical Psychologist.

* Skills: Strong knowledge of evidence-based approaches, such as CBT, psychodynamic therapy, and trauma-focused interventions as well as additional knowledge of the wider interventions including IFS, Compassionate inquiry and SSP.
* Leadership: A proven track record of guiding multidisciplinary teams and driving meaningful change.
