Clinical Associate in Psychology

2 weeks ago


Bedford, United Kingdom East London NHS Foundation Trust Full time

The CAPs will work alongside colleagues from ELFT, partnership agencies, and the Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise sector to embed trauma-informed and psychologically-informed assessment and brief interventions into service delivery in our neighbourhood mental health services. CAPs will work in partnership to co-design, develop and deliver a range of psychological interventions to individuals, couples, families and communities under the supervision of a registered practitioner psychologist. We are particularly keen to hear from applicants who have ties with and a commitment to working in our local area, from those with diverse backgrounds and from people with lived experience of recovery from mental health difficulties.

The post holder will provide psychological interventions to the newly developing integrated Primary and Secondary Mental Health Services. The role will involve supporting those with complex mental health problems, focusing on strength and assets to help people with what matters most to them. They will practice with appropriate support, working within their scope of practice, under the supervision of a registered practitioner psychologist.

The characteristics of the core population being supported in our mental health services include people with complex psychological and emotional needs who may have experienced adverse life events, and/or people who may experience psychosis. Psychological based provision is offered to the local/identified population at the individual, group, couple and family level through to teams, systems and community level.

The post holders will work with people who use our services and their carers to develop a shared understanding of the complex issues the person is facing, how they cope and the impact this has on their mental, physical health and well-being and those around them (psychological assessment and formulation). Under supervision of qualified clinical psychologists they will explore social, psychological and other potential options which may improve health outcomes and help them achieve agreed goals.

Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve. Our values are: We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive - so we are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues in the Trust and our partner organisations.

Service users seen by the post holder will include those who have experienced high levels of distress and complex mental health difficulties. Service users may present with a high level of risk to both themselves and sometimes to other people. Assessments and interventions will be delivered in various settings, including Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) partner organisations and NHS clinics in person, by telephone or digital platform.
