Assistant Psychologist

8 months ago

Blackburn, United Kingdom Priory Healthcare Full time

The Therapy Services at Kemple View aim to provide bespoke and individualised treatment pathways for patients with complex mental health, recovery needs and risk profiles. The services include Psychology, Social Work, Occupational Therapy and education for adult males detained in either our Low Secure or Recovery and Rehabilitation settings. Therapy services staff work together as part of identified Multi-Disciplinary Teams with our nursing and medical colleagues, using positive psychology approaches with patients that aim to motivate, engage, develop and practice skills to achieve life goals and promote long term change to progress through the identified care pathways. Bespoke and specialised psychological interventions and treatment pathways form a major part of the treatment provision.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for three Assistant Psychologists to join our newly expanding Psychology team and help our "outstanding" service continue to develop. Working alongside an established team of experienced Forensic Psychologists, Forensic Psychologists in Training, Assistant Psychologists and a Specialist Practitioner, these roles will enable the successful applicants to receive specialist training, experience of all aspects of the psychology service, and supervision. Successful applicants will get opportunities to develop their knowledge of psychological assessment, trauma informed approaches, bespoke treatment interventions and systemic work, face to face groupwork and some elements of individual work, and to assist with the provision of a comprehensive psychological service for complex adult men with significant mental health needs.

You would also have the opportunity to work within the Occupational Therapy and Social Work departments, as part of the wider work of Therapy Services, and Kemple View as a whole.

One of the posts will primarily focus on working with men with sexually problematic behaviours, including offending. This is an exciting and unique post, and as such specific training and specialist supervision will be provided.

This post requires applicants to work positively as part of a team, and to engage positively in all aspects of supervision and reflective practice. A high standard of communication skills, including written skills are essential. An enthusiastic, warm and empathic interpersonal style is also essential. A Masters degree in Psychology would be an advantage, as would experience of working in a related setting(s).

These posts would also suit anyone wishing to gain relevant experience in order to pursue a career as a Psychologist, or associated Therapist.
