The South Staffordshire Perinatal and Maternal Mental Service
A specialist service delivering person-centred care to expectant and new mothers who are experiencing moderate to severe and complex mental health problems within the perinatal period, or families who have mental health needs associated with loss and trauma occurring in the maternity and neonatal context.
Opportunity
Due to recent staff changes, an opportunity has arisen to join our service on a fixed-term basis. We are looking for a dynamic, passionate, and creative psychological professional who wants to make a difference to the lives of mothers, babies, and their wider families. You will have a passion for supporting both Adult and Infant Mental Health and an interest in improving maternity systems and supporting those who have mental health needs associated with maternity or neonatal trauma or loss.
Team
You will be joining a supportive, engaged team of Perinatal and Maternal MH psychological professionals, MDT, and wider service. You will receive regular supervision and CPD as well as informal support. Across MPFT Perinatal Services, there is a strong structure in place comprising qualified clinical psychologists, psychological therapists, and assistant psychologists supported by a Lead Psychologist for Perinatal and Maternal MH.
