The CAP Apprenticeship is an eighteen month full-time training divided between work-based experience (up to 4 days per week) and academic teaching and study, which leads to a Masters level qualification.

We are keen to hear from applicants with a Psychology degree who have a commitment to working in the local area and who are passionate about working in acute inpatient care.

Psychological Services operate as a distinct Care Unit, and have been established as one of six Clinical Care Units across the Trust.

We, the Adult Inpatient Psychological Services team aim to understand the impact of trauma and adverse experiences on an individual’s crisis presentation within the hospital setting. We work together with our MDT colleagues and wider Care unit colleagues to ensure our Service Users experience purposeful inpatient admissions.

Working in an inpatient setting allows you to be part of a patient’s individual recovery journey, working with them directly but also indirectly for example by supporting our staff teams, shaping the service we all work in and developing this further. We are committed to tailor making interventions and care to individuals’ needs and very much value the clinical and professional development of our psychological services team members.

EPUT’s Adult Inpatient Psychological Services team cover 6 inpatient sites across Essex. Each site has a Principle Lead overseeing the area/areas. Our team is comprised of Principle/Senior Practitioners, Arts Psychotherapists, trainees and CAPS. We acknowledge the excellent day-to-day work of our staff team and also pride ourselves on new creative practice as evidenced by recent innovations; such as our Out of Hour’s access to psychological groups scheme and our nationally recognised staff training packages.

We ensure our staff have access to CPD, reflective practice and peer support. In addition, our CAPs are also supported by a newly created Clinical Psychologist role who is dedicated to the support and development of CAPs in our team.

If you would like to be a part of shaping and contributing to innovation in inpatient care, are a champion of quality initiatives and have an interest in delivering interventions for people with who are in crisis then we are keen to interview you.
