  <p><strong>Job Overview</strong>Newham is one of London's most diverse and also most deprived boroughs, with one of the highest rates of psychosis in the capital. This creates a real need for timely, evidence based care. Our challenge is not just to meet this demand, but to build a model of care that works in partnership with service users, families, and the wider community.</p> <p>The Newham Early Intervention in Psychosis (EIS) team plays a key role in delivering the NHS Long Term Plan, particularly its focus on prevention through early detection and intervention. We are looking for psychologists who can bring both strong therapeutic skills and the ability to collaborate across services. Alongside delivering NICE recommended therapies such as CBT for psychosis and family interventions, you will work as part of a committed multidisciplinary team, ensuring care is joined up, formulation driven, and responsive to our community's needs.</p>



  <h3>Main duties of the job</h3>
  <p>As a psychologist you will be central to the MDT, providing therapy to service users and their families, and supporting the team through reflective practice, consultation, supervision, and training. You will also help the team to think about and manage the complex relationship dynamics that can arise in psychosis, so that care remains safe, effective, and compassionate.</p>



  <h3>About us</h3>
  <p>Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve. Our values are: We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive - so we are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues in the Trust and our partner organisations.</p>
