North Shields, United Kingdom Northumbria Healthcare - NHCT Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Full time

The Adult Weight Management service in Northumbria Healthcare Trust has been identified as a service delivering a high quality service, eligible for additional funding from the Managing Obesity Programme within the context of a focus on health inequalities. In order to support the clinical work of the multi-disciplinary team and to evaluate and audit the success of the project we are looking for an Assistant Psychologist.

The delivery of clinical services is closely aligned to the NHCT's Clinical Strategy and Mental Health Strategy. The Trust values are seen as an important component of both individual's work and the design and delivery of services. The Trust appraisal framework and the preceptorship programme enable continuing professional development, supported by funding for training and skills development. There are regular Trust-wide seminars such as a series on sleep and Compassionate Mind workshops.
The Trust has a wide range of staff benefits, including a gym, great canteens and regular well-being offers. Last year the psychology team entered the Step into Summer Challenge and participation in the various interest and support groups in the Trust is encouraged. There are well-stocked libraries with professional staff and facilities to support study.

This post holder will assist with a number of defined duties as agreed with the Clinical Service Lead (Psychologist) and the service manager.

Working under the guidance and supervision of qualified psychologists, the post holder will provide support and co-facilitation of group interventions (for example the Emotional Eating group in Adult Weight Management ).

The post holder will support the evaluation of interventions and service quality improvements, and audit the standards of the service deliveries.

We manage four major locality hospitals at North Tyneside, Wansbeck and Hexham, plus a number of smaller community hospitals and clinics from Tynemouth to Berwick on Tweed, covering one of the largest geographical areas of any NHS trust in the country. Leading in innovation and quality - opening a state of the art Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital, the first of its kind in England. Do you want to work in one of the best performing NHS organisations in England? Work in an organisation that supports its staff and focuses on staff experience as much as it does the experience of its patients? You can live and breathe in an area that has the cleanest air, cost effective living, great nightlife, some of the best schools with a wealth of history available on your doorstep. Sound too good to be true? Well it isn’t, this is what you get when you work for Northumbria Healthcare, this is the Northumbria Way.

Assistant psychologists in the service are supported with a clear structure of clinical supervision and professional guidance, and individual personal development plans. You will be appraised regularly and support will be given for career development. The service has links with the regional doctorate programmes and provides regular placements.

We may have other opportunities available within the Clinical Health Psychology service. Please indicate in the supporting information section if you would be willing to be considered if these become available.
