Role Summary
Are you looking for a leadership opportunity combined with ongoing clinical experience? We are seeking a compassionate and creative individual to lead and inspire our Trauma Informed Clinical and Forensic Work.
This exciting opportunity is for a HCPC registered Clinical/ Forensic/ Counselling Psychologist. The successful applicant will manage workload within a long term rehabilitation ward consisting of working age men, demonstrating leadership skills and an ability to work with a wide variety of people. As this will be clinical and therapeutic work, it is essential that you have clinical skills and knowledge from the area of trauma as well as a developmental understanding of individuals.
Key Responsibilities
- Work closely with other psychologists and be supported by an assistant psychologist allocated to the ward.
- Supervision skills would be beneficial, but are not an essential criteria for this role.
- Knowledge of trauma-informed care would be advantageous but we are able to provide training in this field in order to utilise DBT and EMDR.
- The role may extend to supporting other patients with EMDR.
