Summary
Are you an experienced psychologist looking for an exciting opportunity to develop your leadership and service development skills? Come and join the High Intensity User Service (HIUS), a small but dynamic team who embrace trauma-informed care, putting the service user at the heart of all we do, and striving to cultivate psychologically-informed ways of working for high intensity users of mental health services. You will be able to shape the further development of the service, and will work closely with colleagues in Home Treatment, Liaison Mental Health, Inpatient Mental Health Wards, and Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Services.
The HIUS Principal Psychologist will offer clinical leadership to the HIUS team, which works intensively with high intensity users of services and the networks around them to better understand people’s needs and collaborates widely to find improved ways of meeting those needs. Working in Urgent Care Mental Health is a fantastic use of a psychologist’s skills and no two days are the same. If you are interested in working at different levels of systems, providing direct clinical work as well as consultation, supervision, and training, as well as getting involved in new initiatives to improve service user experience, then please call us to talk further. We do not have targets for contacts, we do not have waiting lists, and we work closely with our MDT colleagues. We are particularly keen to hear from those people who have a strong recovery ethos.
At Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust (CWPT), we deliver a wide range of physical, mental health, learning disability and autism services, and are proud to serve communities across Coventry, Warwickshire and beyond.
We put ‘people at our heart’; this ethos is at the centre of everything we do and how we do it. We care for our staff and colleagues as much as they care for others and offer a wide range of benefits and development opportunities.
These include:
· generous annual leave entitlement which increases during your time with us
· excellent learning and development opportunities, including apprenticeship frameworks, distance learning, internal training, coaching and mentoring, and much more
· salary sacrifice schemes for lease car/ vehicle, Cycle to Work, home and electronics, gym membership and more
· discounts with a range of retailers, restaurants and entertainment venues through our Employee Assistance Programme and NHS discount schemes
· wellbeing support, including an in-house counselling service, external helpline and more
· staff networks and support groups
We’re always on the lookout for people who share our passion for improving the lives and wellbeing of people in our community, as well as our values of compassion, collaboration, excellence, integrity and respect.
