Highly Specialist Clinical/Counselling Psychologist

2 months ago

Feltham, United Kingdom West London NHS Trust Full time

Job summary

Due to recent expansion of psychological provision and exciting developments in our service, we are seeking a passionate and committed clinical or counselling psychologist to join our Mental Health Integrated Network Team (MINT) in Hounslow. MINT is a multidisciplinary service providing holistic support and treatment to adults presenting with a range of mental health difficulties within a stepped-care framework. We have an established psychology team which is well integrated and highly valued in the service.

We are looking for a dynamic and experienced psychologist, with a special interest in working with trauma. A significant part of this post involves embedding trauma-informed principles and thinking within the work of the whole MDT team, therefore we require a candidate who thrives in a team environment and is enthusiastic about consultation and leadership. This post is an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic early-career psychologist to develop as a leader and you will be supported by a passionate and committed senior psychology team.

Whilst you will use a range of interventions in your 1-1 work, we are looking for someone who has specialism in EMDR. Applications are welcomed from those who do not yet have an EMDR qualification - we will support the right candidate to undertake training and receive ongoing specialist supervision.

Main duties of the job

Opportunity to complete fully funded EMDR Training with time for this built into your job plan

Hybrid office based/ home based working week. Please contact us for more details.

Flexible working, with full/part time opportunities available(minimum 3 days/week)

Supportive work environment - in a recent survey psychological professionals in our Community and Recovery Services reported high levels of satisfaction with the psychological leadership, supervision and training they receive.

A comprehensive CPD and reflective practice program.

Opportunities to link and collaborate with the North Thames Doctorate courses through supervision, teaching and research.

We are a values driven organisation and Togetherness, Responsibility, Excellence and Caring underpin how we treat each other and those who use our services.

You will provide highly specialist assessments and treatment for individuals with complex mental health conditions who have experienced trauma, both 1-1 and in groups. Therefore, post-qualification experience in this area is essential.

You will provide psychological consultation and guidance to the whole MDT and offer supervision and training for Band 7 psychologists, trainee and assistant psychologists. A desire to work within an MDT, promote psychological and trauma informed ways of working and develop your leadership skills is essential.
