Bedford, United Kingdom East London NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Overview We have an opportunity for a Clinical or Counselling Psychologist or accredited Psychological Therapist (see Person Spec) to join us in our community mental health services in Bedford. You will join us in our multi‑agency blended primary/secondary care MDTs and work alongside a group of psychological therapists, including the Principal Psychologist, Psychologists, CBT therapist, CAPs and Assistant Psychologists. This means there are opportunities to work with local mental health networks, service users and VCSE organisations in work streams to shape the future of psychologically‑informed mental health care in Bedford. Newly qualified psychologists could be appointed at band 7 under a preceptorship to work towards requirements for band 8a, subject to satisfactory completion of a formal development process. If you would like to discuss the opportunity before applying, please do make contact with us. Responsibilities The post‑holder will provide specialist evidence‑based psychological assessment, formulation and intervention for people with a range of complex mental health needs, including individual, couple/family and group interventions. They will possess an enthusiasm for multidisciplinary team working and the skills to help steer the team to trauma‑informed psychological understanding of their clients and the development of psychologically informed services. The team values the role of Psychologists highly and, as such, the role is multifaceted and includes consultation, teaching, and supervision roles, as well as active involvement in quality improvement projects, staff support initiatives and wider Trust initiatives. We are therefore looking for someone with good knowledge and skills within these domains, and someone who is ready to join an innovative and efficient service. You will also have opportunities to supervise Assistant Psychologists and Trainee Psychologists. Training and Development We have a good track record in providing therapies training and CPD to support development in clinical and leadership roles. In ELFT we are passionate about our Quality Improvement approach and psychologists are key players in many projects. We have a thriving therapies workforce in the Trust with opportunities for learning and supporting each other. Organisational Mission and Values 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. Additional Information Please could you kindly refer to the job description and person specification attached to this vacancy. Closing This advert closes on Sunday 30 Nov 2025 #J-18808-Ljbffr
