Goring by Sea, United Kingdom Sussex Partnership NHS FoundationTrust Full time

We have a permanent post at Band 7 for a dynamic and creative clinical psychologist working in a well-established, large and friendly community learning disabilities team (CLDT) based in the seaside town of Worthing, West Sussex. There will also be opportunities to work into the innovative Enhanced Support Service in West Sussex, which provides intensive and rapid therapeutic support to people with more complex behaviour and/ or mental health needs.

You would be working with other clinical psychologists and behaviour practitioners, alongside other colleagues in the multi-disciplinary team, sharing knowledge and ideas and fostering psychological mindedness. Individual supervision will be provided by experienced colleagues and encouragement given to develop both clinically and professionally.

We provide a range of psychological assessments and interventions for people with learning disabilities and their networks, with specialist expertise and interests across the service in systemic approaches, CAT, mindfulness CBT, positive behavioural support approaches, trauma informed approaches and neuropsychology. We have strong links with both Surrey and Salomons training courses and have an active research agenda.

Sussex Partnership provides mental health and learning disability care for all age groups across Sussex and for children and young people in Hampshire.

Sussex Partnership is a successful and well-respected Foundation Trust. It has a large, well-established psychological therapies department with close links with Sussex University and good links with carer and service user local organisations. We have a thriving learning disability and psychology speciality with around 25 clinical staff working in community learning disability teams across East & West Sussex. There are close links and shared learning opportunities with neurodevelopmental services. You will be part of a service that strives for clinical excellence and aims to support its staff to feel valued and actively participate in service development.

The post will be based in Worthing but will require work across West Sussex.

**Living and Working in West Sussex**:

- Travel easily between coast and countryside, with a blend of picturesque villages and seaside towns
- Embrace the South Coast with a great range of historic and contemporary seaside towns
- According to the Met Office West Sussex is the sunniest county in the UK, making exploring the vast countryside all the more enjoyable

We’d love you to join our Trust, rated ‘good’ overall and ‘outstanding’ for caring by the CQC.

**REQUIREMENTS**:
In order to be a successful Practitioner Psychologist in our team you will:

- Be a qualified Clinical or Counselling Psychologist, registered with the HCPC
- Have experience/understanding of evidence-based assessments and interventions for people experiencing distressing psychosis.
- Be comfortable working in a fast-paced and varied role, where you will support us in developing this pathway

We are committed to the promotion of excellent professional standards by embedding professional practice within the Trust clinical governance structures and we facilitate continuing professional development by a range of support structures including regular professional meetings. Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust promotes high quality clinical research, and our links with the research and development department are valued and strong.
