7 months ago

Crawley, United Kingdom Sussex Partnership NHS FoundationTrust Full time

We are seeking to recruit passionate, knowledgeable and dynamic Assistant Psychologists to join our Specialist Sussex-Wide Family Eating Disorder Service (SFEDS). SFEDS works with young people aged 10-18 with Anorexia Nervosa or Bulimia Nervosa and their families, and supports recovery through Evidence Based Interventions such as Maudsley Family Therapy models and E-CBT. We pride ourselves on delivering high quality evidenced based treatment in accordance with NICE Guidelines and National Access and Waiting Time Standards.

**Responsibilities**:

- Providing support to SFED referral triage team
- Supporting initial assessments and psychology assessments
- Supporting the facilitation of groups
- Conducting service evaluation
- Audit projects
- Undertaking tasks to enhance the use of routine outcome measures

We are looking for someone with a specific interest and passions for working with young people and families/carers who are suffering from an eating disorder. You will need to be able to work flexibly within an MDT and have well developed interpersonal skills. The post holder will be clinically supervised and managed by a Clinical Psychologist.

The post holder will contribute to the delivery of triage, initial assessments and psychological assessments. Whilst direct individual clinical work is not part of the post, there will be an opportunity to support colleagues in developing shared formulations, care plans and risk assessments for young people and their families. There will also be an opportunity to support and co-facilitate groups.

Evaluation of interventions and the impact of the service in terms of benefit to clients is an important component of what we strive to do. The post holder is central to collection of data and auditing of the service, in particular collecting outcome measures and service user feedback. Applicants MUST have experience of working both as a paid Assistant Psychologist and working with children and young people within a mental health setting.

We provide mental health and learning disability care for children, young people and adults across Sussex and for children and young people in Hampshire.

**Working in Sussex**:

- Travel easily between coast and countryside, with a blend of picturesque villages and seaside towns
- Embrace the city life with great access to visit Brighton and London
- With easy access to Gatwick and Heathrow and excellent railway links across the UK there is plenty of opportunity for adventure

We’d love you to join our organisation that is rated ‘good’ overall and ‘outstanding’ for caring by the CQC. Our staff agree, in our recent staff survey 82% told us that they recognise that care for patients is our top priority.

**Key staff survey results include**:

- 70% highlighting flexible working opportunities as a key point for satisfaction at work
- 79% reporting feeling able to make suggestions to improve the work within their team
- 77% identifying the opportunities to show initiative in their roles

**REQUIREMENTS**:
In order to be a successful Band 4 Assistant Psychologist in our team you will have:

- A degree (or equivalent) in a Psychology related topic
- Excellent IT, audit and evaluation skills
- A passion for working within a specialist eating disorders service

**It would also be advantageous if you**:

- Are experienced working in CAMHS (Children and Young People’s mental health services)
- Have a knowledge of eating disorders

See attached Job Description and Person Specification for full details.

Flexibility with working patterns is desirable as we may extend the hours of our service to include some weekend and evening work

SPFT staff have the capacity to work from home remotely where applicable and in agreement with your line manager.
