The primary purpose of this role will be to support the Consultant Psychologist to provide line management and clinical supervision to the team of psychologists, therapists and psychiatry and psychology trainees. The team of clinicians provide high quality, specialist clinical psychology services to people experiencing gambling harm with complex presentations. The post holder will participate in the development of a high quality, responsive and accessible service, delivering valued outcomes for clients and their families and carers. This includes the development of new and/or specialist psychological interventions for people experiencing gambling harm and additional needs which may require multiagency and indirect work. This role will support the development of a brand-new treatment service, using a digital psychotherapeutic informed approach to treat people who experience problem gambling.
The service will operate from 9am-5pm Monday to Friday. However, an out of hours clinic is planned in the future (one evening a week until 8pm). Therefore, the postholder will be expected to work outside of normal working hours as part of their role. Treatment options offered to patients would include treatment workshops, evidence-based psychological therapy (short and long term) and pharmacotherapy.
