5 months ago


Newport, United Kingdom Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Job summary

We are recruiting for a Clinical Psychologist who wishes to join our team. You should share our passion and drive to ensure that our patients and staff receive quality and compassionate care.

We are excited to advertise a permanent Principal Clinical Psychologist (30 hours) post in our multidisciplinary Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) service, following an expansion of our psychological therapies provision. This expansion has created input from psychology to the specialist eating disorder pathways, enabled psychological provision to be developed in our crises outreach pathway and enhanced provision within the longer-term psychological therapies' anxiety, depression, trauma, and functional difficulties pathways.

We are a fully inclusive service and therefore some of our young people experiencing mental health difficulties also have Intellectual Disabilities or are Neurodiverse.

Main duties of the job

We are seeking an experienced Clinical Psychologist who can work closely with our Consultant Psychologist to ensure the quality of our psychological provision and develop psychological knowledge and skills across our workforce.

The team are passionate about ensuring the child's voice is central to the work they do and working in partnership with families and other partner agencies support services to achieve the outcomes desired by the child or young person. We strive for high quality and innovative practice. We would be delighted to hear from you if you value these things too.

About us

Southern Health is one of the largest NHS Foundation Trusts in the UK, specialising in mental health and learning disabilities, as well as offering physical health community-based services.

With a workforce of more than 7000 and a footprint that spans more than 200 sites across Hampshire, we're wholeheartedly committed to providing the best possible healthcare, reaching a range of diverse communities, whilst placing patients and staff at the forefront of all our endeavours.

We are currently working closely with other NHS Trusts to integrate all our collective community, mental health, and learning disability services. Our new organisation, to be known as Hampshire and Isle of Wight NHS Foundation Trust, is set to launch in July 2024.

The transformation will happen in staggered stages; Hampshire CAMHS, part of Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust joined Southern Health in February 2024, with Isle of Wight NHS Trust mental health and community services transitioning in early May 2024. The final combination of Southern Health and Solent Trusts is anticipated to occur in July 2024, when the new organisation will be formed.

Our new Trust will continue to cater to the unique needs of different communities, making healthcare across the county more accessible, as well as offering staff more opportunities for career development, training and partnership working.

Join us as we embark on this exciting journey to shape the future of healthcare in Hampshire.
