Middlesbrough, United Kingdom Tewv Brits Full time
Tees Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Consultant Clinical Psychologist to lead the Personality and Relational service in Teesside. Your key role will be to support Adult Mental Health Services in developing their skills, knowledge and attitudes; supporting them to enhance the recovery of people with diagnoses of personality disorder and that service delivery in general is personality and relationally informed. You will achieve this through a range of supervisory, consultative, and service development and improvement interventions.

Candidates should be significantly experienced clinicians with excellent interdisciplinary working skills and interested in developing and delivering an innovative service. A proven track record of consultancy, clinical leadership and supervisory experience in the field of Adult Mental Health is essential. A working knowledge and understanding of Structured Clinical Management, is desirable.

You will be required to be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council as a Practitioner Psychologist. The Trust is committed to providing support and supervision for continuing professional development and we have an excellent track record for developing our psychology workforce. There are also strong links to the local D.Clin.Psy. Programmes as we are key providers of academic and clinical experience components both in terms of teaching and supervision.

Main duties of the job

Direct psychological therapy will not be a large or primary part of your role. You will join a network of four colleagues doing the same job in the other localities, and be guided by a trust wide steering group. The nature of the role means that driving will be essential.

Psychologists provide key leadership roles within the Trust. To support this we have developed leadership profiles for each psychology band and the profile card associated with this post is attached on NHS Jobs. You can find more information about the NHS Leadership Academy's Healthcare Leadership Model and the profiles on their website. We encourage you to look at these resources as they will play a part in the interview process.
