8a Clinical Psychologist for Liverpool Step Forward Service
We wish to recruit an 8a Clinical Psychologist for our Liverpool Step Forward service. We provide a stepped model of Psychological care to those who might previously have ‘fallen through the gap’ between primary and secondary mental health services, with our intention being to reduce the possibility of longer term deterioration in people’s mental health by offering more timely earlier interventions. The service comprises Clinical Psychologists, Psychological Practitioners and Assistant Psychologists.
About the Role
The successful candidate will join a passionate and welcoming team and provide trauma-informed interventions to clients and carers aged 18 upwards with a range of difficulties. There is also the opportunity to become involved in Step Forward’s widening access agenda, which aims to address issues of racial inequality within the service and improve health outcomes for people from under-represented communities.
Diversity and Inclusion
We recognise the value that diversity brings to a team and the population it serves, and therefore positively encourage and welcome applications from people from various ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds. The successful candidate will be supported with their training aspirations and in developing their leadership skills.
