About the Role
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Southwark Acute and Crisis Psychology and Psychotherapy team. We are offering a permanent contract for a full-time Clinical/Counselling Psychologist/Psychotherapist Band 8a. The post holder will be based at the Maudsley Hospital which provides acute mental health care to people living in Southwark, South East London.
Key Responsibilities
This is a split post across two urgent care services – Our new Mental Health Urgent Care Centre and our Place of Safety unit. The post holder will provide psychological assessment and very short term therapy services to clients; offer advice and consultation to ward colleagues; and play an integral role in the promotion and evaluation of innovative, psychologically informed approaches to meeting clients’ mental health needs. The post holder will be expected to train and develop non-psychology staff in psychologically minded care. Prior experience of working within acute and crisis services is desirable and the candidate is expected to have a sound knowledge of evidence-based short-term interventions. Supervision and support to the post holders will be provided by senior Clinical Psychologists working in Southwark’s acute and crisis services.
