This is an exciting opportunity for a full-time Band 8A Lead Clinician within the Talking Therapies Liverpool service.

Talking Therapies Liverpool is an NHS IAPT Talking Therapies service for those aged over 16yrs in Liverpool. The service is delivered by Merseycare NHS Foundation Trust, and offers a variety of support and psychological therapies to the community of Liverpool. Our interventions are diverse and evidence based, ranging from guided self-help and face-to-face or video therapy, telephone support to workshop courses.

We know that we can only achieve a high-quality clinical service by maximising the efforts of our team and by creating an environment where colleagues are valued and involved in developing the service. We believe in investing in people, keeping true to the values and behaviours of Merseycare NHS Trust and the NHS and looking after the wellbeing of all team members. We work closely with other services and service user groups to refine and improve the service that we offer.

The post holder will be an experienced clinical or counselling psychologist, or from a counselling, nursing, social work background with a nationally recognised qualification and experience to deliver psychological therapies who will be responsible for the systematic provision of primary care psychology services to adults with mental health problems in the Liverpool area, including GPs surgeries and other community venues. This is to incorporate complex assessments leading to psychological formulations of distress, interpretation, under professional supervision, of assessment instruments and forming judgements for treatment options.

Mersey Care is one of the largest trusts providing physical health and mental health services in the North West, serving more than 1.4 million people across our region and are also commissioned for services that cover the North West, North Wales and the Midlands.

We offer specialist inpatient and community services that support physical and mental health and specialist inpatient mental health, learning disability, addiction and brain injury services. Mersey Care is one of only three trusts in the UK that offer high secure mental health facilities.

At the heart of all we do is our commitment to ‘perfect care’ – care that is safe, effective, positively experienced, timely, equitable and efficient. We support our staff to do the best job they can and work alongside service users, their families, and carers to design and develop future services together. We’re currently delivering a programme of organisational and service transformation to significantly improve the quality of the services we provide and safely reduce cost as we do so.
