Practitioner Psychologist
3 weeks ago
We are looking for energetic and enthusiastic Practitioner Psychologists (band 7/8a or 8a) to complete our team of psychologists working in adult Community Mental Health Teams. Working in CMHTs offers a rich diversity of experiences and opportunities: you will provide a range of psychological services to persons with a wide range of complex or enduring psychological distress (therapy assessment, including cognitive and other specialist assessments care planning etc). You will also work with your CMHT colleagues to offer psychological advice, formulation, consultation, supervision and training. There are opportunities for individual & group therapy, service development and research, as well as joint working with our friendly and hard-working team of psychologists.
We have 1.7wte available in total: the posts are envisioned as being substantive (between 0.6wte to 1.0wte) and are likely to be based in our Vale and Hamadryad teams where you would be joining well established psychology colleagues - a rare chance to co-work with an in-CMHT peer.
We have a well-established pathway for our 7/8a developmental posts. We offer a professional development programme giving you the opportunity to consolidate your training, and to further develop skills and competencies to transition to 8a through successful completion of the programme.
We have remodelled the structure of psychology services in CMHTs giving us a cohesive structure with increased staffing. Every team has an in-team psychologist and these posts will add to that provision - we have also recently appointed a high intensity psychological therapist to further increase therapy resource. The roles are well supported - we have three locality leads (8b) working with the psychologists in each locality cluster of CMHTs, as well as an 8c service lead who manages these posts.
The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply. About us Our CMHT psychologists work collaboratively across each locality to more flexibly meet the needs of service users- and this also allows for greater peer support, and more opportunities to develop specialist skills and interests. We are looking for people who can further add to our skills mix, and contribute to our active programme of service development, including group interventions and training for CMHT staff in psychosocial approaches.
We have a well-established framework for reflective, caseload and peer supervision, as well as access to model-specific supervision for people using EMDR, IPT or facilitating our DBT groups. We have accredited BABCP practitioners who can supervise and support people who are themselves looking for full CBT accreditation. There are good in-house opportunities for CPD including substantive training in Interpersonal Therapy and Open Dialogue Approach. C& V UHB is fortunate to have a number of services focussed on specific issues (for example, Eating Disorders service) and, for people in full-time posts, there may be opportunities to pursue CPD time in these services. We also have active links with our local doctoral training courses (clinical & counselling) and there are opportunities to provide supervision, research, consultancy and training. Job description Job responsibilities Please contact Dr Tansy Mayfield, Lead Consultant - tansy.mayfield@wales.nhs.uk in the first instance to arrange a time for an informal discussion. We can also put you in touch with current members of our team who can talk to you about their experience of working with us. The person specification and job description are attached and please contact us for any further information. Person Specification Qualifications Essential
