3 weeks ago
Job overview
We invite you to be part of our psychology leadership team in the Black Country - joining a growing group of Consultant Psychologists and psychotherapists across our 4 clinical divisions (MH, LD, CYPF, OA).
You will join the MH Consultants team, acting as the 0.6 wte Consultant 8c psychologist across our Wolverhampton locality Planned Care services. Working closely with the Mental Health Divisional Lead, your role will be to strengthen the workforce and oversee governance of the psychological offer within this community locality. Our planned care services have recently adopted a new model as a result of Community Transformation. You will work closely with the other locality based Consultant Psychology leads to ensure that the resultant new pathways are embedded, that the MDT is appropriately upskilled and supervised and that the psychological offer is broad and evidence based.
You will provide direct professional and/or clinical oversight supervision to the psychologists working within Wolverhampton planned care and will lead on strategic projects as agreed with the Divisional Lead,
Main duties of the job
On a day-to-day basis you will be responsible for the psychological provision offered within the Wolverhampton planned care team. This includes direct oversight of the Principal psychologists plus indirect oversight of any senior, basic grade, trainee and assistant psychologists. You will work closely with Ops and MDT leads on governance and quality initiatives and represent and influence from a psychological lens in various Divisional meetings. Recruitment and retention initiatives will be an ongoing priority area as will waiting list initiatives and engagement with the 3rd sector and system partners to address these. You will have opportunities to maintain your clinical skills through negotiated and varied routes although the main focus of this role is leadership, governance and quality. You will develop a job plan that is consistent with BPS guidance, and which will be reviewed and referenced regularly in your personal development review meetings and supervisions.
You will have regular contact with, and support from, the Divisional Lead psychologist and the locality Senior Ops manager. Experience and training in EMDR and trauma informed care would be particularly useful whilst robust risk assessment and management skills are essential. You must be comfortable with MDT working and teamwork.
Working for our organisation
BCHFT was formed in April 2020 from two legacy Trusts. Forming at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, we faced the dual challenges of merger whilst also managing the impact of Covid on both our staff and clients.
On July 1st 2022 the Trust became Lead Provider within the Black Country ICS and the next phase of our development has been realising the benefits and complexities of this role, alongside the ongoing transformation agenda brought by the NHS Long Term Plan. You will be joining the organisation at a time of change and pace and so an ability to work within this context will be essential.
Detailed job description and main responsibilities
You will join an expanding team of Mental Health Division Consultant Psychologists spanning all 8 of the clinical service areas that sit within the Division. You will become a regular and embedded member of the pan Trust Consultant Psychologists group and contribute to the governance and development of the profession with your colleagues and the Mental Health Divisional Psychology Lead.
Your operational management will be provided by a Senior Operational Manager whilst your professional supervisory oversight will come from the MH Divisional Lead. Your clinical supervision arrangements will be determined once in post, with specialist and external options available if necessary.
BCHFT are committed to investment in our Psychology staff so you will have access to a psychology specific dedicated CPD budget to support your professional growth.
The main responsibilities of the role are detailed in the attached JD and PS. Please reference these for more detail.
The role is 0.6 wte. There are no specified days of the week and choice of days will be a negotiation before commencement in post.
