Senior Mental health nurse / Mental Health Practitioner

<h2>Job summary</h2>
  <p>Are you an enthusiastic and motivated individual who would like to further your career in psychology? Would you like the opportunity to join an innovative Psychology Team to bring new and creative ideas to a service? Then, we would love to hear from you.</p><p>We are looking to recruit a suitably qualified HCPC Registered Clinical or Forensic to work within Ashford, our low secure inpatient unit for people with learning disabilities. An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 8a Psychologist to clinically lead the psychological service as well as having an active involvement in wider service improvement and delivery projects.</p><p>We have a track record of innovation and service development which we strive to maintain and improve upon, being one of few services accredited by both the QNFMHS and QNLD. We have adapted and implemented the Good Lives Model of care to support a service-user led service whilst informing an individualised plan of care. The Multidisciplinary team are enthusiastic to work in a psychologically informed ethos supporting psychological models of care that are in place, including formulation, Positive Behaviour Support and more recently our adapted Dialectical Behaviour Therapy service to encourage a trauma-informed approach.</p><p>Close links exist with the Southampton Clinical Psychology Doctoral Training Programme. The Trust supports continuing professional development and research activity, with established links with other Psychological Therapy Services within Forensic Services.</p>



  <h3>Main duties of the job</h3>
  <p>As well as being clinical lead for the Ashford low secure service, there will also be opportunities to undertake discrete complex pieces of work within our multidisciplinary Forensic Community Learning Disability Team (FCLDT) as well as leading the main CBT informed group psychological programmes across the two teams.</p><p>The role will allow you to administer a variety of neuropsychological and psychological assessments in addition to practicing direct therapy approaches and conducting comprehensive risk assessments. The service is always evolving so new psychological approaches are welcomed to meet the needs of our current patients. The candidate is to have excellent communications skills that can be adapted to meet individual patient needs as well as being able to work indirectly within established multidisciplinary teams. The role will require facilitation of formulation meetings and reflective practice sessions with the team to support high quality delivery of care as well as delivery of appropriate staff training.</p><p>The post holder will be supervised by the service Consultant Psychologist who is an Approved Clinician within the service, demonstrating the strong role Psychology has within the service. The role would particularly suit a psychologist who has special interests in working in forensic services and/or the learning disability field.</p>
