Clare Lodge Job Description
Clare Lodge is a secure children’s home located on the outskirts of Peterborough. We work within a trauma informed model of care with a group of children (12-18 females only) who have been placed by the courts in order to secure their welfare and improve their overall wellbeing. The unit is run by the local authority, and we operate as an in-reach health team commissioned by NHSE and located onsite.
Our work has developed over the past 2 years, and we now have a large multi-disciplinary team consisting of Psychiatry, Psychology, Nursing, AHPs and admin support. We are a supportive, friendly, and committed team working within a wider team of local authority and education staff. We are looking for like-minded staff to join us in helping us achieve positive outcomes for the children placed with us.
Role Description
This post is for an Assistant Psychologist to be part of a multi-disciplinary team, contributing to the effective implementation of the Attachment, Regulation Competencies Framework at Clare Lodge. You will work under the supervision of a qualified professional psychologist and the post will have a split between clinical work and research and evaluation.
