DEMENTIA AND FRAILTY (Older People’s Mental Health)

Band 5 Assistant Psychologist

Inpatient services and Community Enablement and Recovery Team (CERT)

**Base**: Juniper Centre, Moseley; OR Reservoir Court, Erdington

**Job type**: Fixed term

We currently have two 12 month fixed-term vacancies available, one in our inpatient units and one in our Community Enablement and Recovery Team (which works to prevent mental health admissions and facilitate timely discharges). Please get in touch with us to discuss these vacancies and the opportunities with the service. Both posts involve working with older people with dementia or mental health problems such as depression, psychosis or anxiety. As such people may be in severe distress and there will be exposure to behaviour that challenges. Service users will often have significant co-morbid physical health conditions or care needs. You will be supported by senior psychology staff and by a large and varied multi-disciplinary team who have good relationships between clinical and operational colleagues. You will assist in the provision of direct clinical services to clients, their families and other carers, and facilitate access to evidence informed psychological practice by supporting the use of psychologically informed assessments, protocols, guidelines and procedures by other members of the MDT.

Our services are innovative and focussed on providing the right care to people in the right place. Clinical staff have a high degree of engagement with quality improvement projects which aim at improving recovery, providing the least restrictive care and facilitating discharge options.

Welcome to Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust. You will be joining a friendly and supportive Psychology Service which offers excellent opportunities for research, personal and professional development and is committed to providing training and quality supervision. We often host trainee clinical psychology and student psychologist placements on in-patient wards and opportunities exist for informal peer support. Our 4000 clinical and support staff help us to improve mental health wellbeing and meet the needs of the 70,000 people we serve each year. We provide a range of mental healthcare services across Birmingham and Solihull, as well as specialised services nationally. We also offer medical, nursing and psychology training and are proud of our international reputation for both research and innovation.

Our population is culturally diverse, characterised in places by high levels of deprivation which create an increasing demand for our services and a necessity for us to make sure everyone can access the help they need. We are a team of compassionate, inclusive and committed people working together to provide excellent care to support our community. If you are looking for a place to belong, where you can make a real difference to people’s lives, join our team where our warm welcome is waiting for you.
