Livingston, West Lothian, United Kingdom NHS Scotland Full time

NHS Scotland is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment, promoting equality and eliminating discrimination. The goal is to have a workforce that truly represents the community we serve, where each employee feels valued and empowered to contribute their best.

The organization is transitioning to a 37-hour workweek, with no reduction in pay, and will apply this change pro-rata for part-time staff. This adjustment will be reflected in the job description and any subsequent employment agreements. However, some service areas may require employees to work up to 30 minutes extra per week for a temporary period, for which they will be compensated. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the relevant department.

We are seeking a compassionate and experienced psychologist with a passion for perinatal mental health to join our multidisciplinary team. The Lothian Perinatal Mental Health Service provides assessment and treatment for women and birthing people experiencing complex mental health challenges. Our team includes psychologists, parent-infant therapists, nurses, psychiatrists, nursery nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, and arts therapists.

The successful candidate will lead the development of psychological provision for maternal mental health, working closely with our multidisciplinary team to provide high-quality care. Key responsibilities include maintaining a caseload for psychological intervention, managing staff, and providing training and supervision. The post-holder will also contribute to strategic developments at local, regional, and national levels.

We are looking for a motivated and experienced leader who can demonstrate a commitment to delivering a service that is accessible and respectful to all. The ideal candidate will have substantial experience working with women and birthing people, parent-infant dyads, and vulnerable patients. Applications will be capped, and late applications will not be considered.

This post requires the post-holder to have a PVG Scheme membership/record. If the post-holder is not a current PVG member for the required regulatory group, an application will need to be made to Disclosure Scotland and deemed satisfactory before they can begin in post.

Please note that this is a part-time position, and the salary will be pro-rata.
