About the Role
Here at HPFT we have a long history of delivering outstanding care, and we are taking our Acute Psychology Inpatient Services to the next level. We have expanded our psychological provision on all HPFT adult mental health inpatient wards and are establishing Trauma Informed Approaches.
Part of the expansion has been the embedding of Clinical Associates in Psychology (CAP) roles within the service. We currently have two CAP’s who are an established and valued part of the diverse workforce and we wish to expand this provision.
Job Description
We are looking for a caring and compassionate CAP to work alongside the multi-disciplinary team under the supervision of a Clinical Psychologist on Swift Ward, an 18 bedded male acute assessment and brief treatment unit.
The successful candidate will hold a MSc for Clinical Associate in Psychology qualification OR be nearing qualification.
