Older Adult 8b (or 8a to 8b Preceptorship) Clinical Psychology Role available offering clinical input and leadership across the older adult in-patient pathway.
We require a motivated, dynamic and experienced qualified Clinical Psychologist to join our well established team of Clinical Psychologists offering input to the Older Adult Wards at the Harbour in Blackpool. In this role there are opportunities for direct and indirect/systemic clinical work, consultation, research, audit and clinical leadership. As a principal psychologist in the unit there would be opportunity for the post holder to deputise for the psychology lead alongside other 8bs in the unit. If taken on as preceptor you would be supported to reach the expected level of competencies for an 8b psychologist (over a period of up to two years subject to successful completion of the competencies). This would be supported by 8c and 8b psychologist(s) already working in the unit as well as the older adult professional lead and wider older adult psychology network.
The Harbour is a purpose built psychiatric hospital that opened in 2015. As such it is a modern state of the art unit with excellent facilities for patients. You would be joining an established team of clinical psychologists at the Harbour that are interested in compassionate leadership approaches. We are invested in creating CPD and wider networking opportunities through regular team and wider inpatient psychology team interactions and events. We are a friendly cohesive team all working in the same building and as such this is a post with lots of peer support and interaction with psychology colleagues. Psychology input at the Harbour is well established and very much appreciated by the wider multidisciplinary teams working here. Assistant psychologists are also employed on a fixed term basis and the post would be required to contribute to professional leadership and operational management of these posts. Additional older adult specific support and leadership is offered as the roles are fully integrated into the wider locality based, and Trust based older adult network of psychologists and psychological therapists.
We are committed to providing the best development opportunities for our staff and the post holder would have options to access continuing professional development and training. We are very willing to consider funding training in development of skills and further qualifications in relevant treatment approaches that will benefit inpatient psychology service provision. There are also opportunities for research within this dynamic and forward thinking service. The organisation also has very good links with the Lancaster, Liverpool and Manchester University based Clinical Psychology Doctorate Courses.
