A Vacancy at South West London and St George's Mental Health NHS Trust.
This is a great opportunity for an experienced Clinical or Counselling Psychologist to join our Richmond Integrated Recovery Hub (CMHT), initially on a 12-month fixed term basis with further opportunities possible subsequently.
A large emphasis of this role is working with clients with traumatic backgrounds and presentations of PTSD and C-PTSD, and specialist supervision and further training opportunities can be provided by our renowned Traumatic Stress Service. Within this role you will also play a key role in promoting trauma informed care within the teams, through consultation, supervision and training.
It is an exciting time to join our trust, as we are well underway with our community transformation plans to improve access and provision for clients with severe mental health difficulties. Our transformation has placed a lot more emphasis on lived experience and peer support, working in partnership with primary care and developing new links with the voluntary sector.
• Training and development opportunities:
We are committed to getting the very best out of our staff and support staff in their career aspirations. We have career pathways available, where you will be able to develop your skills and build on your experience to progress into other roles across different specialties.
We provide several CPD opportunities as well as individual and specialist group supervision to support your development.
The successful applicant will be committed to MDT working and to advancing trauma informed care across the trust. You will contribute to the delivery of NICE recommended evidence-based psychological therapies for severe and enduring mental health conditions, including psychosis & bipolar affective disorder, enduring depression and anxiety disorders and complex PTSD. The role is dynamic and will require you to attend multidisciplinary meetings and to offer supervision, consultation, and training to clinicians within the wider MDT team, as required.
Richmond adult mental health services are comprised of two Integrated Recovery Hubs (CMHTs) with psychologists being highly valued and fully integrated in the service. You will be joining our friendly, supportive and well-established teams and you will be working closely alongside other experienced psychologists. As a psychology team, we meet regularly and we place a lot of importance on the health and wellbeing of all our staff.
Feedback from previous staff:
“I’ve had a great experience, I felt well supported and enjoyed the peer supervision
opportunities. P&P is a great team to work in”
We are proud to offer agile and flexible working opportunities as part of our new ways of working, and we are happy to talk flexible working at the interview stage. In this role you will be able to work Monday to Friday in the time frames from 9am to 5pm, giving you the very best of good work life balance.

We have expert services, a rich history and a clear commitment to providing the best quality care for those with mental ill-health. The Care Quality Commission already rates our services as ‘good’ - we aspire to be ‘outstanding’.

We have built two brand new mental health facilities at Springfield University Hospital, which are amongst the best in the world. More developments are planned across our sites and services.
We are inclusive and diverse and strive to be actively anti racist. We want to attract people from all backgrounds and experiences to enrich the work we do together. We are proud to co-produce and involve our local communities in all that we do.
