Clinical/Counselling Psychologist Opportunity
We have an exciting opportunity for a Clinical/Counselling Psychologist to join the Ealing Crisis Assessment and Home Treatment Team. The team works closely with inpatient and community services to support individuals experiencing a mental health crisis outside of hospital, offering care in people’s homes and within the Crisis Recovery House run by our VCSE partners at Waythrough.
This newly developed post will work alongside an established Psychologist already embedded in the team. Ealing has recently launched a borough‑wide commitment to becoming a trauma‑informed service, supporting staff to deliver stabilising and psychologically informed interventions.
Key Responsibilities
- Work collaboratively with the multidisciplinary team, providing a psychological perspective on care, supporting risk management, and delivering assessment, formulation and brief interventions to service users and families.
- Help develop psychologically informed approaches across the MDT and contribute to reflective practice, team formulation and post‑incident support.
- Support meeting and maintaining psychological standards as the service works towards accreditation with the Quality Network for Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Teams.
- Regular supervision will be provided by a Clinical/Counselling Psychologist experienced in acute and crisis mental health, and the post‑holder will be fully integrated into Ealing psychology services.
