Job Title
We are pleased to offer one post (one 1.0 x WTE) for a qualified Clinical Psychologist, working at either band 7 or 8a dependent on experience.
The post would be a preceptorship for those recruited at band 7. The post is based in Guild Lodge, which includes men’s, women’s medium and low secure services as well as the nationally recognised secure Acquired Brain Injury service. The post will be based primarily within the men’s service; however, the successful applicant may also be expected to support the women’s service as part of their role, depending on service need.
The successful candidate will contribute to the provision of a high quality, specialist clinical psychology service, to service users with forensic, complex and high-risk needs, resident at Guild Lodge, within low and/or medium secure settings.
Candidates wishing to develop their skills and knowledge in neuropsychological assessment and rehabilitation, psychosis, personality difficulties, and developmental trauma will find the setting to be of particular interest.
Responsibilities
The post-holders will be expected to assess and formulate service user risks and needs and provide a range of group and individual interventions. An interest in acquiring skills in relational and integrative approaches such as Schema Therapy may be an advantage, as training and supervision may be provided.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The post holders will contribute to the development of the psychological knowledge and skills of the wider workforce through consultation, joint working, and training and/or supervision of other professionals.
As part of the wider Psychological Services Team, the post holders will have opportunities to develop expertise in all aspects of forensic/clinical practice.
