We're looking for a Psychologist to join our team at Ash Ward, a 12-bed Male Low Secure inpatient unit based in Bridgwater.

You'll be part of a skilled multidisciplinary team including psychiatry, nursing, occupational therapy, and psychology.
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
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
Our focus is on reducing distress, managing risk, and promoting independence and social inclusion, with the ultimate goal of supporting safe and timely discharge.
Our Trust also has a Community Forensic Team with other psychologists, giving you access to wider support, collaboration, and shared expertise beyond the ward environment.
Why join us?
- Be part of a forward-thinking Trust, recently recognised with the HSJ Award for Mental Health Innovation of the Year
- Part of the South West Provider Collaborative, giving you access to training and leadership development
- Opportunities for research and academic collaboration with Exeter University
- Support trainees
- Enjoy a Monday-Friday schedule that supports work-life balance
