Clinical/Counselling Psychologist - Adult Community

You will be working alongside a variety of professionals from different backgrounds. We focus on providing psychological interventions to service users with highly complex and severe presentations who are also under the care of our specialist community teams. The post-holder will be expected to become proficient in the delivery of one or more specialist evidence based psychological interventions (e.g. EMDR, DBT, CAT, Schema Therapy) and contribute to the management and running of these programmes. We are looking for someone skilled in multi-disciplinary treatment planning, who can form respectful and collegial relationships with members of various disciplines and rise to the challenges posed by working in large teams and across services.

This is an exciting opportunity to work within supportive MDTs and highly experienced clinical/counselling psychology and psychotherapy colleagues. We are looking for someone competent and experienced in delivering psychological assessments and interventions who is capable of working compassionately and confidently in the context of high levels of risk. Experience of offering consultations and developing clinical formulations is essential. The successful candidate will need to demonstrate experience with clients who experience severe emotional dysregulation and distress, often with a history of complex trauma.
