Behavioural Specialist

4 months ago


Ilford, United Kingdom NELFT NHS Foundation Trust Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Behavioural Specialist or a newly qualified Clinical Psychologist to be part of a new initiative within NELFT to support adults with learning disabilities, their families, and/or carers. This is a unique opportunity to implement the mainstreaming agenda for people with learning disabilities. The post-holder will be based within mainstream inpatient wards to provide behavioural and psychological input for adults with learning disabilities who are in crisis, including those who are presenting with behavioural concerns. The post-holder will also liaise with community learning disabilities teams (CLDTS) within NELFT. The CLDT services are integrated with social care and health teams and aim to provide a well-co-ordinated service for adults with learning disabilities to achieve better outcomes for them.

This post would suit someone with a strong interest in multidisciplinary working and working with wider systems including family and carers. The post-holder will be part of a core MDT and be clinically supervised by a lead psychologist from the Community Learning Disability Team. Operational management will be provided by a lead from the mainstream inpatient setting.

The role will provide the opportunity to enhance and develop clinical skills in a supportive context together with opportunities for CPD, peer support, service development and research. There will be scope for creativity and development of the post in line with the teams' values of putting service users, carers and co-production at the centre of what we do and working in a trauma informed way.

The psychology department is friendly, supportive and innovative: You would have good access to CPD opportunities across the Trust. We actively support the development of leadership skills and aim to nurture our staff and support them in their development. Members of the wider psychology department have strong links to academic institutions and are engaged in research and teaching on a variety of training courses.

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

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 on engagement, health and wellbeing and key processes. The induction will be held at our head office in Rainham, Essex.

High-Cost Area Supplement - London

This post also attracts payment for High-Cost Area Supplement of 15% of the basic salary (minimum payment of £4,313 and a maximum payment of £5,436).

This job will require direct face to face working with service users on site. This post will involve travel between sites within the areas served by NELFT.
