Job summary
Ellern Mede Barnet is looking for an HCPC registered clinical or counselling psychologist skilled at working with young people (8-18 years) and adults (18-25 years) with eating disorders and complex co-morbid presentations ASC, complex trauma, EUPD, depression, OCD and self-harm. Salaries in the region of £60 000 (pro rata) will be negotiated depending on experience.
Want to work in a service where you can offer excellent psychological care in a highly competent, well-resourced multi-disciplinary team, with space for innovation and room to develop your areas of clinical interest in eating disorders and/or the associated co-morbidities. If yes, then Ellern Mede is the organisation for you.
The part-time (3 days a week) post will be appointed to according to experience and as such applications will be welcomed from both psychologists who are well established in their career, as well as more recently qualified psychologists who would like to develop expertise within this specialist field of eating disorders and associated co-morbidities.
Main duties of the job
The post is integral in supporting and developing psychological perspectives across the MDT as well as in providing assessments and therapy to patients and their families. Specialist psychological interventions (in individual, family and group settings) and therapeutic relationships play an important role in supporting vulnerable young people to overcome their eating disorder and prepare for life outside of hospital. The post will be supervised by a consultant or senior clinical psychologist and you will work closely with the multidisciplinary team, other psychologists, assistant psychologists and therapeutic support workers ( with psychology undergraduate degrees) on the unit and as part of the psychological services team who work closely across the four Ellern Mede hospital sites.
Ellern Mede has a reputation as a ‘unit of last resort’ treating some of the most complex patients in the UK. As such, we are committed to offering evidence-based treatments, but also want to create opportunities to expand the evidence-base and knowledge in the eating disorder field. Consequently, there will be excellent opportunities for research, training, teaching, service improvement and service evaluation projects. We have a fortnightly academic forum across the group which you will be able to join for CPD and presentations from internal and external speakers. The role will include links with local Doctoral Programmes in Clinical and Counselling Psychology, with opportunities for research and clinical trainee placements. Every clinician has a generous annual CPD budget and where needed specialist external supervision can be bought in.
You need to be empathetic, boundaried, clinically skilful and a team-player given the challenges of working on an inpatient unit. Inpatient working is primarily on site and has continued face-to-face rather than remotely throughout the pandemic.
