I really value everyone's contribution to the development of the service.

The Psychological Skills Service (PSS) are looking for an energetic, compassionate and flexible qualified Clinical Associate in Psychologist who wants to work within an exciting new team which will cover Peterborough.

The post holder will be part of an evolving service. This means being able to work with some uncertainty and imperfection as we seek to trial and develop new treatment programmes and processes.
