This is an exciting opportunity to take a clinical leadership role in the development of the maternal mental health service (MMHS). This will integrate maternity, reproductive health and psychological therapy for women experiencing mental health difficulties arising from the maternity experience including trauma and loss. This service will be based within the Perinatal Mental Health Team and work closely with a multi-disciplinary therapy team. Specialist Midwives will form part of the team and the work will involve working very closely with local maternity units.
A Clinical/Counselling Psychologist post is being advertised, to be based in the north hub (Peterborough, Huntingdon, and Fenland). The post-holder will have clinical oversight of the service and lead on service/pathway development and clinical governance.

They will also supervise, and support work, including psychologically informed birth plans, provided by specialist midwives within the team, as well as providing training and consultation to the wider pathway.
The post-holders will have a leadership role within the MMHS which will sit alongside the wider multi-disciplinary perinatal mental health team for added support and resource. The post-holder will be part of a therapy team made up of psychologists, family therapists and a parent-infant psychotherapist.
The post-holder will work autonomously within professional guidelines and exercise responsibility for the systematic governance of the psychological practice within the Maternal Mental Health Service.
The post-holder will be expected to utilise skills for audit, policy, service development and research.
