Job summary

We are excited to announce that, as part of our ongoing commitment to address issues of diversity and inclusion within the field of Clinical Psychology, and as a part of our wider responsibility to address social inequalities in healthcare, Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust has successfully secured funding from Health Education England, for an assistant psychologist post as part of the Aspiring Clinical Psychologists Access Scheme.

This scheme offers paid assistant psychology experience to recent psychology graduates who are eager to develop initial clinical experience as aspiring Clinical Psychologists, but their personal financial circumstances make opportunities offered by unpaid clinical work experience inaccessible. This scheme is specifically designed to enable such graduates the opportunity to gain valuable experience, insight, and preparation for the next step in their journey towards qualifying, such as a substantive Assistant Psychologist post.

Main duties of the job

The successful applicant will support and enhance psychological practice within the Children and Young People's Psychological Service (CYPPS), Blackpool, under the direct supervision of a HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist. As part of the scheme, you will also be supported to have access to peer development groups, which are provided within the Trust, as well as learning opportunities focussing on career development, in order to support success beyond this initiative.

We hope that this post will offer a plethora of valuable experiences to the successful psychology graduate. We are keen to support and touch base with the successful candidates, during the scheme and beyond, as we hope the scheme will be a stepping stone for a career in Clinical Psychology.

We look forward to receiving your application and welcoming you to Lancashire & South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust.
