Full time, permanent role

Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership Trust has an exciting new opportunity for an Assistant Psychologist to work in our Inpatient Services for people with Intellectual (Learning) Disabilities. There are six specialist services on the Brooklands Hospital site, providing inpatient assessment and treatment services to adults (men and women) and young people with an Intellectual Disability. It is a Centre of Excellence and further services are currently in development on site for people with Intellectual Disabilities and/or autism.

The successful applicant will provide support to the qualified Clinical team in delivering a high quality psychology service within some of the inpatient services, working in a multi-disciplinary team and engaging with young people and adults with complex needs and who can display a range of behavioural challenge. These are busy professional roles in which energy, initiative and reflective practice are vital.

**The post-holder will**:

- Carry out observations and assessments with service users under the guidance of a qualified psychologist
- Carry out psycho-social interventions under the guidance of a qualified psychologist.
- Create materials to support the work of others in the team and the wider service (e.g. patient booklets, group materials/resources)
- Contribute to service audits and research including the collection and analysis of statistical data
- Undertake literature reviews for the service
- Assist with the organisation of training provided by the team

The post holder would be joining a dynamic team with a range of clinical interests and expertise in a variety of therapeutic models including DBT, Compassion Focussed, EMDR and Narrative approaches.

Positive Behavioural Support is a major part of our treatment philosophy and the service ethos is to ensure that effective, evidence based interventions are provided to people who can present considerable risk, to ensure that they can return to a less restrictive environment in the community as soon as possible.

All members of the team receive excellent support, good quality supervision and opportunities for continuing professional development. There are good links with psychological services staff across the Trust, developing Special Interest Groups across speciality and an annual conference. The Psychological services team also has strong links with local clinical and forensic training courses, and regularly provides placements for trainee clinical and forensic psychologists, supervision for DClinPsy and DForPsy research, and teaching on the courses.
