We Are Looking For Enthusiastic Clinical Or Counselling Psychologists To Join Our Norfolk And Waveney Early Intervention In Psychosis (EIP) Service. Three Vacancies Available
Available Positions
- Permanent full-time (1.0 WTE) Band 7/8a preceptorship post within the Central Norfolk EIP Team
- Permanent part-time (0.5 WTE) Band 7/8a preceptorship post within the West Norfolk EIP Team
- One-year (fixed-term/secondment) part-time (0.5 WTE) Band 7/8a post within the Central Norfolk EIP Team
Successful applicants would also have the option of combining the two 0.5 WTE posts to create a full-time role across the West Norfolk and Central Norfolk EIP teams.
About the Role
The Norfolk and Waveney EIP Service is a well-established specialist service within NSFT, providing assessment and treatment for people aged 14–65 experiencing a first episode of psychosis. Applications are welcomed from newly qualified, soon-to-be qualified, and experienced Clinical and Counselling Psychologists. For those joining at Band 7, our established preceptorship programme provides a structured and supportive pathway towards developing advanced competencies and progression to Band 8a. The banding of the post will therefore reflect the successful candidate's qualifications and level of experience.
Previous training and experience in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Psychosis and Bipolar (CBT-pb) and Behavioural Family Therapy (BFT) would be desirable but not essential, as relevant professional development opportunities will be available.
