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.

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