Are you an experienced HCPC registered Psychologist seeking a new challenge?
We are currently wishing to recruit a Senior Clinical/Counselling Psychologist, to be based in our newly developed team in northeast Oxfordshire, which is part of the integrated North & West Adult Mental Health Team.
We really want to hear from enthusiastic HCPC registered Clinical/Counselling Psychologists wishing to make a difference to patients with complex mental health difficulties. Additionally, we are keen to hear from other accredited psychological therapists that can demonstrate they meet the specification.
We offer CPD and training for career progression, have excellent links with the Oxford Centre for Psychological Health that includes Oxford Centre for Cognitive Therapy and Oxford Institute for Clinical Psychology Training, which is hosted by the Trust.
We encourage innovation and research with opportunities for collaborations with University of Oxford Department of Psychiatry and Department of Experimental Psychology. We also collaborate with Oxford Brookes University and Buckinghamshire New University.
We provide excellent accredited supervision by senior therapists to help you consolidate your therapy skills in a focused and supported way.
As a flexible employer we would welcome discussions about opportunities we can offer in posts both full and part time, for people wanting to specialise in adult mental health.

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.

- To plan and implement formal psychological treatment and/or management of a client’s mental health problems, based upon an appropriate conceptual framework of the client’s problems, and employing methods of proven efficacy.
