Liverpool, United Kingdom Pick for Britain Full time


We have an exciting opportunity for a Clinical Psychologist or Senior Psychotherapist to join us in the Liverpool Step Forward service. We provide a stepped model of Psychological care to those who might previously have ‘fallen through the gap’ between primary and secondary mental health services, with our intention being to reduce the possibility of longer term deterioration in people’s metal health by offering more timely earlier interventions.

The service currently comprises Clinical Psychologists, Psychological Practitioners and Assistant Psychologists. For senior psychological therapists, an interest in and substantial experience working with complexity including attachment trauma (using e.g. EMDR / CAT) models would be welcomed.

The successful candidate(s) will join a passionate and welcoming team and provide trauma-informed interventions to clients and carers aged 18 upwards with a range of difficulties. The successful candidate(s) will be supported with their training aspirations and in developing their leadership skills. There are opportunities to work remotely, and flexible working can also be offered. Whilst the post being advertised is full-time, we would certainly consider part-time candidates.

The post holder will supervise and support the highly specialised psychological assessment and therapy provided by other psychological professions and other members of the team who provide psychologically based care and treatment.

The post holder will exercise delegated management responsibilities where appropriate and work autonomously within professional guidelines and exercise responsibility for the systematic governance of psychological practice within the team.
The post holder will utilise research skills for audit, policy and service development and research and propose and implement policy changes within the area served by the team.

Mersey Care is one of the largest trusts providing physical health and mental health services in the North West, serving more than 1.4 million people across our region and are also commissioned for services that cover the North West, North Wales and the Midlands.

We offer specialist inpatient and community services that support physical and mental health and specialist inpatient mental health, learning disability, addiction and brain injury services. Mersey Care is one of only three trusts in the UK that offer high secure mental health facilities.

At the heart of all we do is our commitment to ‘perfect care’ – care that is safe, effective, positively experienced, timely, equitable and efficient. We support our staff to do the best job they can and work alongside service users, their families, and carers to design and develop future services together. We’re currently delivering a programme of organisational and service transformation to significantly improve the quality of the services we provide and safely reduce cost as we do so.

Flexible working requests will be considered for all roles.
1. To provide specialist psychological assessments of service users referred to the team based upon the appropriate use, interpretation and integration of complex data from a variety of sources including psychological and neuropsychological tests, self-report measures, rating scales, direct and indirect structured observations and semi-structured interviews with service users, and others involved in the service user’s care.
2. To be responsible for the systematic provision of cognitive behaviour therapy, CAT and / or EMDR at a highly specialist level to people experiencing significant and/or severe psychological problems
3. To formulate and implement plans for the formal psychological treatment and/or management of a service user’s psychological problems, based upon an appropriate conceptual framework of the service user’s problems, and employing methods based upon evidence of efficacy.
4. To be responsible for implementing a range of psychological interventions for individuals, carers, and groups, within and across teams employed individually and in synthesis, adjusting and refining psychological formulations drawing upon different explanatory models and maintaining a number of provisional hypotheses.
5. To evaluate, monitor progress and make highly skilled evaluations and decisions about treatment options taking into account both theoretical and therapeutic models and highly complex factors concerning historical and developmental processes that have shaped the individual, or group.
6. To exercise autonomous professional responsibility for the assessment, treatment and discharge of service users whose problems are managed by psychologically based standard care plans.
7. To exercise autonomous professional responsibility for the assessment and treatment of service users whose problems are managed by psychologically based enhanced care

9. To ensure that all members of the clinical team have access to a psychologically based framework for understanding and care of service users, through the provision of advice and consultation and the dissemination of psychological research and theory.
10. To undertake risk assessment and risk management for individual service users and to provide both general and specialist advice to other professions on psychological aspects of risk assessment and risk management.
11. To communicate in a skilled and sensitive manner, highly complex information concerning the assessment, formulation, and treatment plans of service users under their care where there may be conflicting views, high emotion and significant barriers to understanding and change, and to monitor and evaluate progress during the course of both uni- and multi- disciplinary care.
12. To provide expertise, advice and support to facilitate the effective and appropriate provision of psychological care by all members of the treatment team.
