<h2>Job summary</h2>
  <p>Help for Psychology is a friendly, growing team. We carry out multidisciplinary neurodevelopmental assessments and provide psychoeducation and therapy for children and young people at our clinic in Norwich. We are a recognised provider of NHS Right to Choose services in Norfolk and Waveney. We have a team of employed and associate clinicians and this role has been developed specifically to support our existing senior clinicians (who also work part time) in managing our team of employed clinical psychologists, assistant psychologists and trainees from the UEA. There is also the opportunity to join the senior management team in shaping the future direction of the company. This would be an ideal role for an experienced clinical psychologist who is seeking a more flexible role where there is the opportunity to balance workload and professional development (we are happy to talk about flexible work hours and will even consider a term time only contract). We are committed to providing a truly holistic, multi-disciplinary service to children and young people in the local area, with clinicians from a range of disciplines (psychiatry, paediatrics, occupational and speech and language therapy) and in turn can offer an attractive salary and benefits package, a comfortable and airy work environment and free parking on site.</p>



  <h3>Main duties of the job</h3>
  <p>The role will provide a flexible mix of clinical work (both assessment and therapy), supervision and management and the opportunity to be part of the wider senior management team shaping and developing the future direction of the company. Many of our cases are complex and we need someone with a good understanding of autism, ADHD and joint presentations, who also brings substantial knowledge of trauma, attachment difficulties, and mental health challenges. From a therapeutic point of view, we currently offer psychoeducation, adapted CBT, EMDR, ACT, Compassion Focused and CAT informed therapy packages, and would be happy to embrace new ideas and support additional training.</p><p>We need strong supervision skills and would support the successful applicant to pursue management training, or coaching, if this was required.</p><p>There would also be the opportunity to support workforce planning and to contribute strategically.</p>



  <h3>About us</h3>
  <p>Help for Psychology started life as a small, independent, family-run practice in 2015. Our website (<a href="http://www.help4psychology.co.uk" target="_blank">www.help4psychology.co.uk</a>) explains our reason for being. Although we have grown significantly in the last few years, the family feel remains. People don't work for us, they work with us.</p><p>We pride ourselves on supporting flexible working practices. We appreciate that dropping children off at school, picking them up in the evening and having the time to attend school concerts etc is important. Our clinical appointment times reflect this.</p><p>We also appreciate that people need a good work-life balance and workloads for our team reflect this. Our assessments are high quality and we always aim to make sure that families feel heard and that they have had enough time to tell their story. We have invested time in developing clinical tools that help clinicians to spend less time on admin and report writing and more time on clinical work.</p><p>We support training and offer CPD opportunities. Due to our Clinical Director's links with Kings College London, there is also the opportunity to be involved in research and data collection. This also means that our team have access to up-to-date research papers and tools.</p>
