Crynodeb

Two vacant posts have arisen for 8a counselling or clinical psychologists in a newly restructured learning disability psychology service that works across three multi-disciplinary teams in Manchester city, covering North, Central and South localities.

We would also be open to offering a band 7 to 8a preceptorship, where you would be appropriately supported to engage in a development plan with a view to moving to band 8a usually after a minimum of 18 months, dependent upon you meeting the necessary competencies.

You would have the benefit of working with some very experienced psychologists, including being led by a consultant clinical psychologist. You would be based in one of the localities but there will also be opportunities to work City wide to further develop skills and utilise your expertise.

This is an exciting time to join us as there have been substantial changes within the service and with this will come lots of opportunities for service development work.

Supervision is highly valued and you would be offered this regularly, in addition to regular professional specific meetings across the city.

To ensure the systematic provision of a high-quality specialist psychology service to Manchester Specialist Health Service for Adults with Learning Disabilities, promoting an understanding of the psychological needs of people with learning disabilities and their wider systems.

To provide specialist assessment of adults with complex learning disabilities, using specialist assessment tools and psychological inventories, co-constructing formulations, and designed and delivering individualised psychological interventions.

To provide regular specialist psychological advice, guidance, consultation and training to the multi-disciplinary teams and to the wider support networks of adults with learning disabilities.

To play a leading role in the proposing, implement and evaluating practice changes within the area served by teams.

To supervise and support the psychological assessment and therapy provided by assistant psychologists, psychologists in training and other clinical members of the teams who provide psychologically based care and
interventions.

To work autonomously within professional guidelines and exercise responsibility for the systematic governance of psychological practice within the service/team.

To utilise research skills for audit, policy and service development and research benefiting the whole service and wider learning disability community.
