Band 5 Clinical Associate in Psychology (CAP), Adult Community Psychology

We are very excited to request applicants for a new type of Psychology role and training: an apprenticeship post known as a Clinical Associate in Psychology (CAP). Clinical Associates in Psychology are graduate psychologists (have completed a degree in Psychology) who fill an identified skills gap between assistant psychologists and qualified clinical psychologists. They are able to practice autonomously with appropriate support, working within their scope of practice, under the supervision of a registered clinical psychologist.

This advert may close early due to receiving a high number of applicants.

The broad purpose of the occupation is to provide high quality, evidence-based psychological interventions, often working with people who have long-standing or complex difficulties. CAPs work with specific populations and therefore provide a more proscribed range of activities than Clinical Psychologists.

The CAP Apprenticeship is an eighteen-month full-time training divided between work-based experience and academic teaching and study, which leads to a Masters level qualification.

CAPs are trained to work with a particular service user group
- in this case working age adults with mental health difficulties. This post will be based with the South West Adult Community Psychology service located in Grays, Thurrock, working alongside qualified Clinical and Counselling Psychologists, Psychotherapists, qualified Clinical Associates in Psychology and Assistant Psychologists as part of the psychological services contribution to the locality multidisciplinary community teams.

We are particularly keen to hear from applicants who have a commitment to working in the local region, from those with diverse backgrounds and from people who bring lived experience relevant to mental health work.
