St Andrews, United Kingdom Nhs Borders Full time

OUR VALUES IN ACTION ?Care and Compassion ?Quality and Teamwork ?Dignity and Respect ?Openness, honesty and responsibilityCAMHS - Assistant Psychologists (2 x 37 hour posts, based at the Andrew Lang Unit, Selkirk)NHS Borders Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) is delighted to invite applications for two Assistant Psychologist (2 WTE, 37hrs per week, Band 4, permanent).We wish to recruit new colleagues to recomplete our team of three Assistants.
We are looking for people with enthusiasm to start their careers in Applied or Clinical Psychology in our small and friendly multidisciplinary team.
We are looking for people with initiative, energy, excellent communication and engagement skills for patient-facing activity and multidisciplinary work.
We are also looking for creativity and robust organisational and IT skills to help us with the day to day endeavours of CAMHS and to work with us on audits and service development projects too.Applicants must have a degree in Psychology that confers eligibility for graduate basis for registration with the BPS.
You will need to be eligible to work in the UK immediately and to be able to obtain a PVG for this age group.
You will need to have some relevant experience of working with children, young people or families experiencing challenges and demonstrate transferable skills for the CAMHS setting.You will be line managed within CAMHS Psychology and will have access to NHS professional learning resources, training and regular supervision.
These posts are integrated within the multidisciplinary CAMHS team therefore you will have opportunities to observe, discuss and undertake a wide range of clinically and wider professionally relevant tasks.The Assistant Psychology roles support the service in our improvement plans (co-creation of documents, web-content, data & audit work, literature and web-searches, piloting new processes).
They contribute to direct clinical care by undertaking individual or joint assessment components across several workstreams (learning disability, neurodiversity, mental health) in clinic and community settings.
They also contribute through brief intervention work or co-provision of groups under supervision and alongside qualified colleagues.
The Assistants also work on joint tasks and several rotas for core CAMHS tasks together (such as Triaging referrals) which further underpins a multidisciplinary and peer to peer learning environment.We are a multidisciplinary integrated CAMHS and ND service with a positive culture and a broad remit working up to 18 years of age.
We provide; support, consultation and coaching for community partners, a neurodevelopmental assessment and treatment pathway which includes learning disability, Tier 3 multidisciplinary and psychological interventions, and intensive community treatment.
Our team includes Clinical Psychologists, Clinical Associates in Applied Psychology (CAAPs), Psychiatrists, CPNs, Specialist nurses, sessional SLT, all supported by Administrative staff (and a Therapet or two).
We have Trainee CAAPs and Clinical Psychologists on placement regularly throughout the year.
These posts should again provide an excellent place in which to ground a career in psychology in the NHS.These posts are based at the Andrew Lang Unit, Selkirk but we use numerous locality bases and spend significant amounts of time in schools throughout the region.
Our Assistant Psychology jobplans currently support a small amount of working from home (perhaps 1 day a week) but the roles are fundamentally in-person at our base and in schools and locality venues throughout the Scottish Borders and therefore a driving licence and use of a car is almost essential.CAMHS Assistant Psychologists often work a half or full day in another specialty (most commonly Adult LD and Paediatrics).
An Assistant Psychologists' peer group links across NHSB Psychology specialities.The Borders is a beautiful rural catchment with small towns and relatively inexpensive housing and can offer an excellent quality of life for those who wish to move to the area.
However, many colleagues do commute from neighbouring areas.If the volume of interest in the posts is very strong we may have to close the posts before the stated closing date, so an early application is highly recommended.
Due to the volume of interest shown for similar posts we are unfortunately not able to offer any pre-interview dialogue.
Shortlisting will be by application forms and interviews will be via Teams.Thank you for taking an interest in these posts, we look forward to meeting you.Dr Andy Gentil (Consultant Clinical Psychologist), Lead for CAMHS & Paediatric Psychology / NHS Borders.
