Hailsham, East Sussex, United Kingdom Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Full time
Job Summary

The South East Forensic Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (SE FCAMHS) is seeking a trainee Forensic Psychologist to join their team. This role is ideal for someone looking to complete a 6-month placement towards their professional training and registration with the HCPC, such as through a Doctorate in Forensic Psychology.

Main Duties

The role involves providing consultation to professional networks, indirect risk assessment (including SAVRY and AIM3), development of formulations and intervention plans, and development and provision of teaching and training, under the supervision of a HCPC registered Practitioner Psychologist (Forensic and/or Clinical). The post holder will primarily work remotely across Sussex, Surrey, and Kent & Medway. They may choose which of these three areas to complete any direct assessments and interventions, however these opportunities may be limited. As such, the role may suit a trainee who is already competent in direct client work and is looking to gain experience in the areas of consultation, formulation, and teaching and training. Travel to monthly regional meetings would be expected and these may take place in Maidstone, Crawley, or Hailsham. Please contact us if you are unsure if the placement will meet your required aims, objectives, and competencies.
