London, United Kingdom East London NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are looking to recruit a highly motivated, innovative HCPC-registered Clinical or Counselling Psychologist with an interest in working with the providers of services for adult homeless people in hostels. This is a part time post 15 hours a week.

The postholder will primarily support hostel staff to deliver trauma and neuro-informed work, develop their psychologically informed environments and support residents' inclusion into psychological services and therapeutic opportunities.

The post is suitable for an experienced Psychologist who has an excellent understanding of working systemically across and within organisational boundaries. You must be keen to embrace the privileges of working in a diverse borough, have experience of working with people with complex mental health needs and from a range of religious, cultural and ethnic backgrounds as well as working in partnership with staff teams and community organisations to deliver psychologically informed care.

We plan to hold in-person interviews on Thursday 30th May - dates may be subject to change.

Main duties of the job

Core tasks will include facilitating reflective practice, staff training, providing psychological advice (informal, ad hoc , and formal consultation), assessment (including psychometrics and neuropsychological) and brief interventions with service users and carers. The post also involves the development of partnership working across all relevant sectors including health, social care, housing, criminal justice, work and education. The post holder will contribute to the Borough's Population Health Projects for homeless people in hostels. By supporting staff, the goal is to improve the health and wellbeing of homeless people, promote their social connections, community engagement and participation.

We aim to develop and deliver our services through co-production with people with lived experience. The department has an excellent relationship with People Participation and the Local Recovery College. We would expect you to be fully committed to partnership working and co-production.

The successful candidate will supervise trainee and assistant psychologist(s).

About us

Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve. Our values are: We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive - so we are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues in the Trust and our partner organisations.

The successful candidate will be closely involved with the Department of Adult Mental Health Psychology, under whose governance you will experience continuing professional development, including regular specific psychological training and liaison with North Thames Clinical Psychology Doctorate courses. Within this lively and enthusiastic Adult Community Psychology Team a range of approaches is promoted, including CBT, CFT, CAT, MBT, narrative therapy and community psychology, supported by strong peer and specialist supervision.
