The post involves working with a wide range of client groups, ages and, mental health difficulties. We are a collaborative, committed and supportive psychology team with robust arrangements for supervision and support.

- Provision of individual psychological assessments and formulations that also help inform the wider teams' assessment and treatment plan.
- Offering of brief evidenced based interventions, either as extension of assessment/formulation or, as a stand alone skills based focus.
- Working alongside the qualified psychotherapist to identify suitable clients to go into the psychology assessment slots.
- Working within the wider MDT to help formulate all client's that present to CRHT using 5Ps model to help inform risk management and treatment plans.

- Communicate your work effectively in both verbal and written formats.
- Work alongside interface services such as wellbeing to help client flow and appropriate treatment pathways upon discharge from CRHT.
- Help design and contribute to service-related audit and research projects and collect relevant data linked to this.
