WestonsuperMare, North Somerset, United Kingdom Avon & Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust Full time

Job overview

Due to an upcoming career break of an experienced member of our Psychological Therapies team, an exciting opportunity has arisen for a Clinical Psychologist to work with our Recovery community services and our acute care team on Juniper ward.

We are looking for a flexible and enthusiastic clinical psychologist committed to working with people with severe and enduring mental health needs. The post is offered as a fixed term position or secondment for 12 months.

The post would suit either an experienced clinical psychologist at 8a or would be a great development opportunity for a band 7 psychologist with suitable experience. In the latter case additional support and mentoring would be provided.



Main duties of the job

You will offer highly specialist psychological assessments and both long and short-term interventions as well as providing advice, consultation and training to other team members. The ability to work collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams will be essential to developing your role within this post. You will need to be well organised with the ability to prioritise your work according to clinical need and liaise effectively with team colleagues and professionals in other agencies.

North Somerset PTS services work across all community, acute and inpatient services within North Somerset. The service is staffed by a multidisciplinary team comprising of clinical psychologists, arts psychotherapists, CBT therapists and family therapists and work closely with other services.

We are a friendly and supportive team, who are highly valued within local services. We also have strong links to local training courses and host a number of trainee therapists.

We place a high value on continuing professional development and there will be opportunities within the post for areas of specialist clinical interest.
