Job description

Job responsibilities

In recent years, there has been major investment into Psychological Professions and clinical leadership within NELFT. This has resulted in a vastly expanded senior Psychological Professional leadership team and a major transformation. This work is within the implementation phase and looks at a number of areas, including the creation of parity between bandings of Psychological Professionals in different areas of NELFT; ensuring that the care delivery is trauma informed for both people who use services and staff; and the integration of siloed psychological offers of care into multidisciplinary secondary care adult mental health provision. The transformation also included the coproduction of an accountability framework in which clinical and operational colleagues work collaboratively and in partnership in order to deliver the best care for people who use services, their carers, family members and supporters. This offer is in line with NELFTs commitment to being patient and clinically led, whilst being operationally enabled.
