Band 5 Assistant Psychologist

2 weeks ago

Birmingham, United Kingdom Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Are you looking for an opportunity to work with older people with mental health problems? Do you enjoy multi-disciplinary team work? Do you want to work in a multi-cultural environment? If so, get in touch to discuss this post.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and experienced assistant psychologist to join our large Psychology Service within the Dementia and Frailty Service of BSMHFT, providing mental health services to the culturally and socially diverse population of Birmingham and Solihull.

We have two posts, one at Reservoir Court in Erdington and another at Juniper Centre, Moseley. These posts will support older people with dementia or mental health problems such as depression, psychosis or anxiety who are admitted to our in-patient units. 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 inpatient 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.

For further information about the main responsibilities please view the attached job description and person specification.
