NHS Talking Therapies in Hertfordshire
NHS Talking Therapies in Hertfordshire are seeking a highly motivated and creative Assistant Psychologist (AP) to join our well-established service and contribute to the delivery of psychological therapies in a primary care setting.
We recognise the AP role as being an important step towards entering clinical psychology training and have a very successful record of our APs going onto clinical training having worked in the role. We attribute this to the blend of clinical and research/audit experience that the role combines as well as a firm grounding in understanding primary care within the NHS.
We are seeking an Assistant Psychologist who will work under supervision to provide psychological assessment and treatment to service users with depression and anxiety, and will contribute to the development of the service through audits, data collection and research and innovation projects. The delivery of webinars and supporting online groups are also a significant part of the role. Service user experience, innovation and development are key focuses within the Hertfordshire Talking Therapies service and you will be supported and encouraged to attend CPD and training to help you develop in your role.
