The applicant must have excellent literacy and numeracy skills, a psychology degree with 2.1 or above, and be eligible for graduate membership of the British Psychological Society.

You will be required to work independently according to a plan agreed with a qualified Psychologist and within the overall framework of the team's policies and procedures.

About Us
We are a countywide service, committed to improving the wellbeing of parents and their babies. We offer assessment and treatment to women with moderate to severe mental health difficulties who are either pregnant or within the first post-natal year (increasing to 24 months in some circumstances). You will be joining an established psychology team consisting of three clinical psychologists, a CBT therapist, and parent-infant psychotherapists.
