Fantastic opportunities for up to SIX enthusiastic Senior Clinical Psychologists come join Inpatient Adult Mental Health Services!
Working in inpatient mental health really is a great use of all the skills we have as psychologists. No two days are the same, and the role is varied, interesting, and thought-provoking. One day you can be undertaking highly complex psychological assessment, and the next you can be leading on team formulation or delivering PBS training! As a clinical psychologist, there really are so many fantastic opportunities to make a difference.
If you're interested in working with people with a variety of different presenting difficulties, and working with the MDT to undertake shared formulations and clinical supervision, then this is the role for you. You will have a significant role working with the ward MDT to develop collaborative, trauma informed formulations that inform least restrictive patient care. We're keen to recruit recovery-oriented, enthusiastic, and thoughtful team players, and welcome all conversations if you wish to know more. You're also very welcome to come meet some of the team and see the environment you could be working in. These roles cover our female or male treatment wards, or our PICUs.
If you're interested in joining a busy, diverse, and energetic team, please give us a call!
