Summary
We are really excited to advertise this permanent 8b Practitioner Psychologist (Clinical or Counselling) post to lead Bury Secondary Care Psychological Therapies Service (SCPTS). The SCPTS works alongside Community Mental Health Team (CMHT) colleagues and the Complex Emotional and Relational Needs (CERN) team in Bury.
This is an excellent opportunity to bring clinical leadership to the team in order to further develop the clinical delivery model, provide clinical leadership and supervision to colleagues, work as part of an MDT and embed principles of trauma informed care.
Community Mental Health Services are going through a process of transformation and there is real opportunity for the post holder to support and be part of delivering the ambitions of 'The Community Mental Health Framework', particularly focusing upon the 'Psychological Therapies for Severe Mental Health Problems' (PT-SMHP) NHS-E paper.
The post will suit a highly skilled and compassionate Psychologist who really enjoys working as part of the team. The successful candidate will be trained in different therapeutic modalities, consultation skills and hold a desire to support and lead a team through change.
There are five Secondary Care Psychology Services across the Pennine Care footprint and you will work closely with, and be supported by, your peers across these teams. The postholder will also be supported and supervised by the Secondary Care Psychology pathway lead (Consultant Clinical Psychologist).
As a Principal Clinical Psychologist/ Principal Counselling Psychologist, the post-holder will be responsible for the provision of specialist expertise with complex and, or challenging cases within the secondary care adult Psychological Therapies Service.
The post-holder will work with the clinical lead for the adult mental health secondary care pathway and the borough leadership group to ensure robust and effective care for service users who present with complex and/or severe mental health needs.
The post holder will contribute to the development of effective psychological care with the multi-disciplinary team. A key component of the post will be to provide consultation, support, and where appropriate, clinical & managerial supervision to other psychological therapy staff.
The post holder will be part of supporting with the Community Transformation programme, embedding new psychological practitioner roles and meeting the ambitions of the 'Psychological Therapies for Severe Mental Health Problems 'PT-SMHP' NHS-E paper.
We are passionate about staff well-being and would encourage the postholder to be part of special interest groups, make peer supervision links and work closely with their community psychology colleagues. We are committed to staff development and have an extensive psychological therapies training programme.
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 are 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.
Our trust values are:
Kindness
Fairness
Ingenuity
Determination
