Are you an experienced HCPC registered Psychologist seeking a new challenge in a brand new pathway?
We're looking for a Senior Clinical or Counselling Psychologist role within our newly established Intensive Case Management (ICM) Pathway.
This innovative service will provide high-quality, person-centred care to individuals with complex mental health needs who may struggle to engage with traditional services. Operating across Oxford, the team will deliver proactive, flexible support, responding to needs in a timely and coordinated manner.
The Intensive Case Management Pathway is founded on active engagement rather than office-based care. Staff will work flexibly across the county, supporting individuals in community settings, their homes or Trust premises. Interventions will be tailored, relationship-focused and recovery-oriented, promoting continuity, trust and consistent engagement. Shared caseload responsibility, alongside a key worker model and regular MDT reviews, will enable rapid responses to relapse, risk and disengagement.
We are seeking motivated and compassionate professionals who are committed to supporting some of the most vulnerable people in our communities. You will be confident in managing complexity and dynamic risk, while working within a recovery-focused, trauma-informed framework. This is an opportunity to help shape a new service and make a meaningful difference across Buckinghamshire.
Role Responsibilities
The Psychologist for the Intensive Case Management (ICM) Pathway provides psychological expertise to support the delivery of high-quality, recovery-focused and evidence-based care for adults with psychosis and complex mental health needs who experience significant challenges in engaging with services.
