We are looking to recruit an 8B practitioner psychologist to co-lead the psychology team working alongside the North Northamptonshire Community Adult Mental Health Teams (CMHTs). The post-holder will work alongside an 8B psychologist in the North and other 8Bs in the West Northamptonshire CMHTs. The varied role involves leading the team of practitioner psychologists and psychology team members as well as some direct clinical work. There may be flexibility in what we are able to offer therefore if you are interested please do not hesitate to contact us on the details below.
This post benefits from a recruitment incentive of �5,000 pro rata for successful candidates over 2.5 years. Initial payment of �2,000 will be made in the 1st month with a subsequent payment of �2,000 made on the 13th month of employment. The remaining �1,000 will be paid out in the 18th month of employment. Terms and conditions apply.
A relocation package is available up to �8, 000, if the successful postholder relocates to Northamptonshire and meet other eligibility criteria. This is subject to approval.
Main duties of the job
The postholder will work alongside the existing lead psychologist to share supervision and delegated management responsibilities for the CMHT psychology staff.
The postholder will work clinically with a small caseload and provide supervision to others. We are therefore keen to recruit someone with experience, specialist knowledge and skills working with severe and enduring mental health difficulties such as complex trauma. We would especially welcome candidates with CBTp or experience working with psychosis.
About us
