assessment and formulation, as well as the Veterans we work with, at the core
of everything it offers.</p><p>You will be responsible for delivering outcome based
psychological therapy that is uniquely tailored to meet the needs of Veterans

of the service, we are looking for a clinician with significant experience in

working with this client group. Experience of using a range of

also be an advantage. Equally important would be your ability to work
both autonomously within community based settings, as well as collaboratively
with other teams and professionals. The ability to consider and find
