Summary
A Vacancy at Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust.
Are you seeking the opportunity to develop your clinical and leadership skills? Do you enjoy being part of a team and working creatively with service users? Would you like to join a service that encourages innovation and research? If so, we invite you to apply for this Principal Practitioner
Psychologist post in our Steps to Recovery rehabilitation services.
Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust has seven Steps to Recovery units and an Intensive Community Rehabilitation Team, offering a range of mental health rehabilitation services. It is an exciting time to join us, as we focus on further development of our person-centred
and trauma informed service, which has a team-based approach at its core.
This post is based at Dan Mooney House and David Bromley House, two Complex Care Units located on the same site in Knowle, Solihull. The post holder will contribute to the work of the multidisciplinary teams on the units, building collaborative relationships with service users to
enhance wellbeing and support recovery. They will also be warmly welcomed into a well-established and supportive group of psychological practitioners working across Steps to Recovery and Assertive
Outreach Services.
Individuals at Band 8b or with suitable experience and eligible for this banding will be considered.
The post holder will have opportunities to develop skills in team-based working, specialist assessment, shared formulation, and application of evidence-based psychological interventions to help service users achieve their rehabilitation goals. They will also be supported to develop their
leadership and management skills.
Experience of working in multidisciplinary teams and with clients from culturally and socially diverse communities who have range of mental health needs is desirable, as is the motivation to support positive risk taking so service users can lead as autonomous and valued a life as possible. We also support multidisciplinary colleagues to build knowledge, skills, and confidence by delivering a programme of training, supervision, and reflective practice, to which the post holder would contribute.
Our psychological service has a reputation for clinical excellence and innovation in rehabilitation and we are actively involved in service development, evaluation, and research. We have access to a comprehensive CPD programme and external training and provide strong professional supervision, offering a range of clinical models and accreditation opportunities.
If you share our recovery-focused commitment to keep service users at the heart of what we do and would like to develop your clinical and leadership skills, we would love to hear from you. Please contact us for further information about the post or to arrange an informal visit.

We provide a range of mental healthcare services across Birmingham and Solihull, as well as specialised services nationally.
