Blackfen and Lamorbey, United Kingdom CV-Library Full time

Psychologist – Therapeutic Residential Care (Clinical, Counselling, Forensic or Educational)
Location: Sidcup, Kent
Salary: £45K – £55K DOE
Working Pattern: You will be expected to work from the residential setting 3 days a week and to work 2 days from home.
Benefits: 25 days’ holiday + 8 bank holidays, pension scheme, enhanced DBS check and update service, ongoing clinical and professional support and supervision, extensive training and continued professional development opportunities, peer buddy allocated at induction, monthly reflective practice space for all clinicians and fully-funded team development events.
Are you a highly qualified and experienced Psychologist who specialises in residential or inpatient care?
Do you want to work in a truly attachment and trauma informed setting?
Our Therapeutic Care team is expanding and we are looking for someone who can take a lead in delivering specialist therapeutic support within independent residential children’s homes in Sidcup, Kent.
This is a highly autonomous and empathic leadership role to oversee reflective practice, leadership supervision, risk management meetings, psychometric assessment, staff training in trauma-informed practice, and formulation and planning meetings, as well as therapy with a small caseload of young people.
You may also provide supervision to an Assistant Psychological Practitioner who will support on the delivery of both the therapeutic interventions and the systemic team structures that you will lead.
Your primary task will be to embrace and implement our model of Attachment and Trauma Informed Care (ATIC™) within an independent residential setting, for a small caseload of children and young people from a range of backgrounds.
As our Residential Psychologist, you will assume responsibility for:
* Weekly reflective practice group for staff teams
* Quarterly integrated clinical assessment and formulation meetings
* Written assessment reports and integrative therapeutic support plans
* Consultancy and specialist training in trauma-informed approaches, mental health, attachment, and therapeutic parenting approaches for staff teams
* Leadership supervision for home managers, to support the embedding of ATIC at all levels
* Facilitating Red and Amber State risk management meetings as needed
* Direct therapy with the young people and supervision of assistant practitioners
* Consultation, advice and guidance, and organisational and systemic leadership
In order to be successful in this role it is essential that you can demonstrate:
* You are a HCPC registered Practitioner Psychologist
* Substantial experience of delivering evidence based therapeutic supports, systemic consultation and advice in inpatient mental health settings or a children’s services context – local authority, CAMHS, or services for looked after children
It would be great if you had:
* Additional clinical training in specific mental health interventions and/or trauma focused therapy (e.g. DBT, CBT, EMDR, DDP, CAT, family therapy etc).
* Experience in representing psychology within a multi-disciplinary service and offering supervision, training and support to clinicians and non-clinicians
* Knowledge and experience in Attachment and Trauma-Informed Care principles
There is much scope for evolving and expanding the clinical role within the team and we are proud to have a dynamic and creative approach to implementing meaningful change within the services we support.
Working with MCTS
First and foremost, MCTS is a social enterprise. We provide clinical and psychological support to independent care providers who want to deliver specialist therapeutic care. We are the partner of choice for clinicians who value giving back as well as making a living.
“I was initially nervous about leaving the NHS, but I've found that within MCTS, you have much more scope to make meaningful changes than I had when I was in CAMHS. My caseload is smaller, I feel well-resourced, empowered to work autonomously, and I’m able to be creative when implementing interventions at an individual and service level. It's been a really refreshing change.” Clinical Psychologist in MCTS
