Summary
Band 5 –Assistant Psychologist
Are you looking to develop your skillset?
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Assistant Psychologist within theCoventry Long COVID Community Rehabilitation team. This is a unique opportunity to work across the integrated care system, in partnership with other local Long COVID services. Our first two assistant psychologists were successful in gaining a place on the Clinical Doctorate and reflected:
“This role increased my confidence in my clinical skills when working 1:1 with patients and supported me to develop competencies in therapeutic models I had not yet had experience with (e.g., CBT, CFT, & ACT). I have been involved with research opportunities including conducting literature reviews and qualitative research to support the development of the long COVID service. This role has offered fantastic supervision, which has valued personal development as highly as professional development. This supervision was ultimately priceless when preparing for interviews and identifying my blind-spots as a candidate, a psychologist and as a person. Do not hesitate to apply for this opportunity. Good luck!”
