Worthing West Sussex, United Kingdom Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are looking for dynamic, creative clinical psychologists to join our community learning disability team in Worthing, West Sussex and would welcome applications from 3rd year doctorate trainees. Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust supports flexible working so full time, part time and split-post applications will be considered. We are aware that starting a new role can be daunting and additional support and development will be given.

Main duties of the job

Postholder will join an established team of psychologists, family therapist & behaviour support practitioners in West Sussex, and work closely with multidisciplinary health and social care colleagues. Our specialist learning disability services are clustered around three community learning disability teams, together with a County wide Enhanced Support Service. You would join a friendly, supportive team and would work primarily with people presenting with difficulties around their mental health and/ or behaviour. You would be working in a variety of community settings, with individuals, groups, families and staff teams, providing psychological assessment, interventions and applying a range of therapeutic approaches. We provide a range of psychological assessments and interventions for people with learning disabilities and their networks, with local specialist expertise and interests in systemic approaches, CAT, mindfulness, Autism, CBT, positive behavioural support approaches, attachment and trauma informed approaches and neuropsychology. Outcome measures are a key component of our work. We have a newly commissioned dementia baseline screening programme and dementia assessment pathway that the successful postholder would have a key role in delivering. We have strong links with both Surrey and Salomons training courses through supervision of trainees, teaching and have an active research agenda.

You will be part of a service that strives for clinical excellence and aims to support its staff to feel valued and actively participate in relevant service developments. The CQC rated the trust outstanding for caring and good overall.
