This is a fantastic opportunity for a highly skilled, innovative, and experienced Therapist clinical leader to play a lead role in the strategic development and delivery of Psychological and AHP Therapies across our working age and older adult in-patient mental health services, and our specialist services.

This post is being advertised in conjunction with our Associate Director of Therapies for Adult Community Mental Health Services post. We would be happy to consider applications from individuals interested in working a full-time role across both posts. In this instance you would not have to apply for both posts - but we ask that you make this interest clear on you application form.

Main duties of the job

In patient services

In addition to our new modern in-patient therapy unit at Farnham Road Hospital, Guildford, we will be opening a second new in-patient unit at Chertsey, These units will comprise 3 older adult & 7 working age adult wards. In addition to our acute in-patient mental health wards, we have a 12 bed in-patient mental health rehabilitation unit in Reigate. We want our new hospitals to ensure that the person, not their condition, is at the heart of their inpatient experience. People who need our services should be able to access the best clinical practice available that promotes a holistic approach to recovery by connecting mind & body, family & friends, community, and the environment. As the professional lead for all AHP and Psychological therapies for these in-patient services, you will have a key role in ensuring people have access to a range of evidence-based, best practice therapeutic interventions that support recovery, timely discharge, and independence in the community.

Specialist services

Our specialist services include Community Forensics, Clinical Health Psychology, Perinatal/Maternal Mental Health & Psychiatric Liaison. These services work in collaboration with a range of partners to deliver high quality care to a broad range of client groups. You will play a key role in ensuring therapies pathways are evidence-based, accessible and effective across these services, and that psychosocial interventions are embedded in wider MDT service delivery.
