Job Opportunity: Applied Psychologist
This is an exciting opportunity for an Applied Psychologist to join our mental health services across Rotherham and Doncaster and contribute to making a meaningful impact on the lives of older people and their families. We welcome applications from those at band 7 (or due to be qualified) as this is a preceptorship role with scope to progress to 8a over time.
About the Role
The post provides an opportunity to develop a broad range of skills within both community-based multidisciplinary teams and inpatient services. Candidates must be qualified psychologists registered with the Health and Care Professions Council. This post offers the successful candidate the opportunity to develop a range of skills as the role is split between settings, with time spent in a Older Person’s Community Mental Health Team, contributing to wider CMHTs across Doncaster through a psychology hub, and working within an inpatient service for acute mental health problems and dementia.
Responsibilities
- Delivering specialist psychological and neuropsychological assessments and interventions across both care environments.
- Providing psychological input to multi-agency risk management / treatment plans.
- Offering consultation, supervision, and training to colleagues and external agencies to promote psychological understanding.
- Contributing to service delivery, development, and quality improvement initiatives.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
