Job Description
The post holder will be embedded within a new Initial Response Service (incorporating Mental Health NHS 111 services) and will support and supervise staff as call handlers and assessors. You will also be spending one day a week doing direct clinical work with service users within the Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment (CRHT) Team in Central Norfolk. This post represents an exciting opportunity to shape a new clinical service and create a psychological and trauma-informed culture alongside continuing development in therapy and intervention skills.
This post would suit a qualified or newly qualified clinical psychologist seeking to develop some specialist skills and experience in staff support, consultation and supervision. We are looking for someone who is passionate about developing services and pathways and confident in using research evidence and national guidance to do this. This post also represents an opportunity to get involved in Trust-wide initiatives around patient safety.
If newly qualified, we would be keen to offer a package of training around supervision, post-event reflection and reflective practice to support you in your role. We would expect that within a year of being in role, we would want you to develop some specialist therapy skills in a relevant therapy modality.
