**OUR VALUES IN ACTION** Care and Compassion - Quality and Teamwork - Dignity and Respect - Openness, honesty and responsibility

We are a small welcoming team of Clinical Psychologists and Assistant Psychologists in the Scottish Borders. We value learning and development and regularly host Trainee Clinical Psychologists on placement. We provide a highly specialist psychology service across NHS Borders, to adults predominantly aged 65 and over. We work across a variety of settings and services including community mental health teams and specialist care home/community hospitals. We provide specialist assessment, formulation and evidence-based theraputic interventions for older people with complex mental health difficulties and/or distressed behaviours relating to, or co-morbid with, a diagnosis of dementia, in addition to providing neuropsychological assessments to aid differential diagnosis.

The successful applicant will assist in providing a range of mental health assessments and evidence-based psychological and psychosocial interventions in collaboration with other psychologists to our population aged over 65 years as well as support and training to wider staff groups. This post would provide excellent opportunities for professional and specialist skill development across a diverse clinical population. Full support and training will be provided for appropriate skill development in different therapeutic modalities and approaches. The postholder will work closely with clinical psychologists in the service, and would be provided with supervision and mentoring from senior staff within the department, as required.

NHS Borders Psychology Services is a dynamic and supportive service that aims to offer delivery, training and supervision in psychological therapies to the NHS Borders, a rural population of 115 000 people.

We are in easy reach of Edinburgh - with the majority of our staff based in the capital, often car-sharing The recent addition of the Tweedbank rail service from Edinburgh has made travel to Tweedbank (45 minutes from Edinburgh and a 20 minute walk to the Borders General Hospital) an attractive commute

The Scottish Borders is a lovely area to live in, with excellent schools, abundant local amenities and easy access to Edinburgh and transport links Superb leisure facilities including many golf courses, mountain bike trails, fishing and other rural pursuits locally, plus good quality affordable housing, provide ideal opportunities for a high quality of life in this scenic part of the country.
