If you are looking to develop your clinical or counselling psychology skills working with older adults who are experiencing severe and enduring psychological difficulties this is an exciting opportunity to join the B& D OAMHT. We are looking for someone who is enthusiastic and has an understanding of the challenges that older adults experience and how these impacts on their well-being. It is a part-time (0.50 wte). There may be opprotunities for additional hours within other NELFT psychological services.

You will be based in Broad Street Centre in Dagenham and will be supported and supervised by the Clinical Lead of Older Adult Psychology. You will be part of the well-established multi-disciplinary service. Other psychologists at Broad Street include the Trust wide lead for Clinical Health Psychology, the Memory Service psychologist, and trainees from clinical or counselling psychology courses. You will also have links with psychologists in other services, such as the inpatient wards, IMPART personality disorders, secondary care psychology and Talking Therapies.

The Trust supports continuing professional development with a range of in-house trainings and opportunities. Recent examples have included specialist trainings in ACT and EMDR. This post has been an opportunity for newly qualified psychologists to establish and consolidate their skills post-qualification. The vacancy is arising due to the current postholder moving onto an 8a position within the Trust.
