Job Title: Experienced Ward Psychologist
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced ward psychologist to work in the older people’s in-patient services in Ealing. There are two wards:
- One which focuses on people with dementia, but also includes frail older people with functional mental health needs.
- The other is a step down ward for people who are awaiting the completion of discharge arrangements.
The post holder will be a key part of the ward MDT, providing more complex formulations and promoting a psychological understanding of service users’ presentation. They will also complete assessment and intervention with a focus on developing our discharge pathways to ensure seamless links to our community teams. As part of this work, they will also be working with the families of those people who are returning home and the staff in a variety of supported living environments for those who need greater support.
Location
This post is based in Jubilee Ward at St Bernard’s Hospital in Ealing and The Limes, which is based in Southall. The post holder will jointly supervise the Assistant Psychologist for the wards alongside the other ward psychologist based in Hammersmith and Fulham.
