The project sits within the Traumatic Stress Clinic.
The role of the assistant psychologist will include setting up, conducting and writing up assessments, drawing up and co-ordinating care plans, signposting and making referrals to other services where necessary. It will also include providing mental health interventions including psychoeducation and symptom management sessions, behavioural activation, community linking, and supporting workshops and groups on common mental health difficulties.
