United Kingdom Sinclairstrong Full time

Organisation: Sinclair-Strong Consultants Ltd

Salary Range: Band 7

Accountable to: Principal Clinical Psychologist

We are seeking a qualified clinical psychologist with strong interpersonal skills to join our small and friendly complex adult ASD assessment team based in Kings Hill, Kent. The ASD assessment team has been in operation since June 2020 and is commissioned by Kent Community Health Foundation Trust (KCHFT). The ASD team currently comprises two clinical psychologists, one forensic psychologist, and one assistant psychologist, with ongoing recruitment to expand the team. This post is offered part-time (between 15 and 22.5 hours per week) with a combination of face-to-face, flexible working and working from home available. For those seeking full-time hours, there is also an opportunity for a split post across the ASD Assessment Team and the SSC Kent and Medway Complex Autism Service (KAMCAS). As an independent mental health provider, working closely with the NHS, this role offers an excellent opportunity to develop experience of working within an alternative service provision. 

We are looking for candidates with transferable skills and experience and you do not need to be an expert in ASD to apply. The supportive nature of the team and the variety of clients we see means that there are opportunities to develop both your knowledge of ASD and of co-occurring difficulties. Applications from current third year clinical psychology trainees with an interest in/experience of working with autistic adults are welcomed. There will be an opportunity to progress to 8a once you have demonstrated that you meet the competencies over an 18-24 month period.
