We are seeking a Clinical Psychologist to join CWP's Specialist Perinatal Mental Health Team to work alongside our current Psychology team. This role is to cover the Cheshire East locality.

Specifically, there is agreement that the successful post holder will be able to access training in therapy modalities deemed relevant to the needs of the service users. We have good links to the three training courses in the North West and offer clinical placements.
Our team covers the entire CWP patch - the roles advertised will be to caseload hold in our Wirral and Cheshire East localities.
The post is offered at Band 8A for those with 1+ years post qualification experience. We also encourage newly qualified clinicians to apply and can offer Band 7 preceptorship moving up to Band 8A after demonstration of an appropriate level of skills and experience. Please state on your application if you are applying for Band 8a or Band 7 preceptorship role. Full and part time hours will be considered.

Clinical Psychologists play an integrative role in the MDT and are valued and well supported by colleagues. While these posts are primarily focused on delivering support to individual families (both directly and by supervising and supporting MDT colleagues) there will also be scope for delivering training and consultation to partner agencies and to being involved with other aspects of service development.
We are looking for clinicians who are strong team players and who has an understanding of the unique nature of the perinatal period and the need to balance the needs of mum, baby and the wider systems that surround them.
Practitioners will be closely integrated into and meet regularly with the MDT. The successful practitioners will be expected to work relatively autonomously within the wider CWP footprint. They will be joining a supportive and engaged Clinical Psychology team, MDT and wider service, and will receive regular supervision and CPD as well as informal support.
