We are recruiting to a band 7-8a or band 8a clinical or counselling psychology post working into Community mental health services in Hull.
This is an interesting time to join our Community Mental Health Service as we continue to develop the CMHT transformation work with a compassion-focused trauma-informed approach.
You will be working alongside other psychological professionals in the same building.
Progression from band 7 to band 8a is subject to the post holder being able to evidence that they have met all criteria required for the role. This will be reviewed at regular intervals with the clinical supervisor and line manager.
It is expected that in order for the post holder to progress that they would have successfully completed the ISW training, have had experience supervising assistant psychologists, trainee psychologists and other professionals; have received post-qualification training in an area relevant to this role; have led on teaching or training for a range of professionals; have led on consultations and are able to work with increasingly complex presentations (as available within the role).
We anticipate that progression would take place over and beyond a 2-year period from qualification from the Doctoral training course and would involve close supervision from a clinical supervisor and use of the live supervision model. If the post holder already has significant band 7 post-qualification experience, then the progression time period may be reduced.
You will be providing consultation, support for staff, reflective practice groups, supervision of staff (qualified CMHT staff, other psychological professionals, clinical psychology trainees (if applicable) and assistant psychologists), assessment, formulation, direct clinical work, training and evaluation to ensure that your team has the greatest impact on recovery and a positive client journey.
You will play a pivotal role in helping the team to continue improving its practice and to provide good, coordinated, structured clinical care whilst maintaining staff well-being.
We are looking to our Psychologists to provide clinical leadership alongside the team and clinical leads as well as steering service development and supporting psychologically driven and underpinned assessment and treatment pathways.
