8A SENIOR PRACTITIONER PSYCHOLOGIST / PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPIST IN MATERNAL MENTAL HEALTH (CLINICAL HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY SERVICE)

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and highly skilled practitioner psychologist/ psychological therapist to join the Maternal Mental Health Service ( called TULIP). This team was created as a result of a collaboration between Clinical Health Psychology Service (CHPS) and Perinatal Parent Infant Mental Health Service (PPIMHS) to develop a stepped model of care for women and their partners.

The post holder will provide qualified specialist psychological interventions to identified patients who are presenting with psychological distress, and mental health concerns, in relation to maternal mental health related conditions. This would include referrals for perinatal loss such as miscarriage, stillbirth, medical termination, infertility, birth trauma, tokophobia (fear of childbirth) and those that have had a loss of a baby through removal by children’s social care.

All members of the Maternal Mental Health clinical team work in collaboration with multiple agencies in the community.

The Maternal Mental Health Service mainly works online, but also runs clinics in community sites and offers home visits. The successful applicant must be able to mobilise independently using public transport or driving.

Starting with NELFT
NELFT place a great deal of importance on new starters being properly welcomed and inducted into the Trust. All new starters will join the Trust on the first Monday of each month and will undertake a comprehensive induction of up to two weeks which will include mandatory training, systems training and the allocation of equipment. As part of the process new starters will have the opportunity to also meet the executive team, senior managers and attend a number of drop in sessions focusing in engagement, health and wellbeing and key processes. The induction will be held at our head office in Rainham, Essex.

COVID-19 Vaccination
We continue to encourage all staff to ensure that they have been double vaccinated and received their booster. We recognise that taking the vaccine provides the best defence against COVID 19 for our patients, our staff and their families.

Probationary Period

High Cost Area Supplement - London
This post also attracts payment for High Cost Area Supplement of 15% of the basic salary with a minimum payment of £4,313 and a maximum payment of £5,436 per annum (pro rata for part-time).

**Key Responsibilities**:
1. To provide specialist psychological assessments, interventions and psycho-education to patients, carers and families experiencing birth trauma, tokophobia, and death of a baby in the neonatal period as a result of miscarriage, stillbirth and medical termination.
2. To show skill in triaging, co-ordinating and managing a clinical caseload of complex cases (which involve assessing risks).
3. To function as a core, fully integrated member of the MMHS. This will include attendance and regular participation in psychological therapy, training and MDT work.
4. To offer support, consultation and training about the psychological treatment and management of issues relating to maternal mental health, baby loss and birth trauma.
