We are keen to ensure there is adequate support for the appointed candidate in this role and have recently recruited an 8c Consultant Psychologist to lead the acute pathway and provide specialist supervision for this post. They will be in post April 2024. The trust also support an Acute Psychology Special Interest Group (SIG) and there are clear links with other Psychological practitioners working within the borough.
We are passionate about staff well-being and compassionate leadership in the acute care pathway. Our staff survey results support this. In the latest National Survey (2023) Pennine Care was ranked as the best mental health and learning disability trust in the North West.
We support staff to work flexibly and recognise and respect the roles our colleagues hold outside of their working hours. This focus helps us to retain staff and ensure people are happy in their place of work.
Equality, diversity and inclusion is at the top of our agenda. We believe that a diverse, inclusive and engaged culture is vital; that everyone's value should be recognised and respected.
There are also opportunities to link with local higher education providers and the research & innovation (R&I) team to engage with related research projects.
We are committed to staff development and have an extensive psychological therapies training programme. Our Psychology colleagues have feedback that this is a particular strength within the trust.
