Main duties of the job

We are looking for a team psychologist who will act as a strong clinical leader, working collaboratively with the team manager and other senior clinicians to ensure that the clinical team is fully supported to work with service users with complex mental health care needs. As an independent practitioner with your own team caseload, you will be part of a dedicated professional group providing psychological assessment, intervention, supervision and staff support within our community-based services.

We will recognise & value your clinical expertise, post-qualification training and specialist knowledge. We will enable you to use your clinical skills and listen carefully to your ideas for developing our community mental health services. We are dedicated to building a compassionate workplace where respect and care for service users and staff is at the heart of everything we do.

We have a vacancy in Kerrier ICMHT, based in Redruth, which is made up of highly motivated and supportive professionals focused on offering an outstanding therapeutic service. Our aim is to ensure service users feel empowered to progress their recovery and advance towards independently managing their own mental wellbeing.

About us

We're an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital-based care to improve people's physical and mental health. We also provide specialist support to people with dementia or a learning disability.

We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you'll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.

Over 4,000 people make up the Trust. This includes doctors, nurses, therapists, plus admin and support staff.

We work in people's homes, in community clinics and bases. Some staff work from one of our 13 community hospitals. Our aspiration is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work and a great partner.

Approximately 568,000 people live here. A third of people who live in Cornwall are supported by acute hospital services in Devon. As a result, we also work closely with our partners in Devon. In the summer, and during other holidays lots of people choose to visit the area. This increases the numbers of people who use our services.
