Thank you for your interest in joining the Psychological Professions workforce within LSCft.

Our psychological professions work into a range of different mental health, physical health and learning disability services across the lifespan within the trust.

We are involved in a range of important activities which align with the aims of the trust to improve health, deliver the best possible care and value for money and have joy and pride in the work that we do. They include one to one and group psychological therapy utilising a range of modalities, psychological assessments, staff team reflective practice, teaching and sharing psychological knowledge and expertise, service development and striving for excellence and quality improvement, research opportunities and embedding psychological theory and practice across the trust.

Main duties of the job

Within the trust we have a Psychological Practice Governance Group (PPGG). The PPGG is responsible for monitoring, advising and reviewing all psychological practice and therapies on the Trust register. They make updates to reflect changes in National and Local policy. The PPGG provide oversight on psychological issues relevant to service, clinical audit, service redesign and workforce planning. We also have a Psychological Professional Leadership Forum, and planning work has commenced to develop a regular CPD programme. We also have a number of Special Interest Groups.

We currently have two peer forums; our Newly Qualified Psychologist Group and our Pre-Qualified Psychology Group.
