Lead Psychologist  - Part Time 

NHS Jobs

Specialist or Highly Specialist Applied Psychologist Progression 7/8a

<h2>Job summary</h2>
  <p>This is an exciting opportunity to join and contribute to a psychologically-led healthcare team. The role is to contribute to the provision of a high-quality, specialist psychology service for young people in two SCHs within the Health and Justice Directorate. The young people present with a range of diverse needs including complex trauma, neurodiversity, and common mental health difficulties (e.g., anxiety and depression). These cooccur alongside concerns about risk to themselves and / or others, as well as risk from others, often in the form of exploitation. The post involves working within a multidisciplinary mental and physical healthcare team to undertake assessments and interventions directly with young people, their families and carers. The role also involves working alongside other Psychology colleagues to implement and embed formulation-led, trauma-informed care throughout both SCHs, in line with the NHS England SECURE STAIRS initiative. This involves exciting opportunities for partnership working including consultation, training, supervision and formulation, as well as innovative service development activities.</p>   <h3>Main duties of the job</h3>
  <p>This role would particularly suit those interested in working with young people with backgrounds of complex trauma, who pose a risk to themselves and others. Candidates would benefit from previous forensic and clinical experience, with a motivation to develop their clinical experience further. There are opportunities within the team for professional development and training. Current team members have accessed a range of CPD opportunities recently including EMDR training, attendance at national Secure Children's Homes (SCHs) network events and AIM risk assessment training. The team use a range of clinical models including CBT, DBT, CFT, EMDR and Schema Therapy. This post is placed in a challenging but rewarding environment. The post holder must therefore be able to demonstrate a high level of resilience, be able to manage exposure to potentially distressing and emotive situations and disclosures and be able to work with young people who present a risk of serious harm to others or themselves. The post holder should be able to contain and work with organisational strain and be able to understand and contain the stress of others, with appropriate support from the team.</p>
