Summary
Highly Specialist Clinical or Counselling Psychologist –Part time (2.5 days) 6 month Fixed term post with possibility of extension.
Are you interested in playing a key role in the development of addiction services as part of the national over-hall of drug and alcohol services?
We are keen to recruit a dynamic, compassionate and experienced clinical or counselling psychologist to join RISE in Ealing. RISE is an established partnership substance misuse service between CGL (Change Grow Live), CNWL and BOB. RISE specialises in supporting recovery for drug and alcohol difficulties and caters to a wide range of service users including those with co-occurring mental health, physical heath difficulties, criminal justice involvement and service users who are sleeping rough, across clinical bases in West Ealing and Southall.
We welcome applications from psychologists outside of the addictions field who are looking to develop a new specialism and welcome applications from Band 7 psychologists ready for career progression.
This post will play a key role in the development of the local addiction services as well as our mental health pathways and will have involvement in our high quality stepped care provision across the addictions directorate. We are seeking someone who will work well with a range of professions, both within the established MDT and also with the wider staffing group, respecting and integrating a range of opinions and approaches to provide the best outcome for our service users and promote trauma informed care across the service. At RISE you will be fully supported by a Consultant Psychologist and work alongside assistant psychologists and MDT colleagues. We have a larger team of psychology and therapy staff providing a wide range of therapies (CBT, MBT, EMDR, Schema & Psychodynamic therapy) across CNWL Addictions Directorate. We are seeking someone who will offer clinical supervision and reflective practice and consultation as well as providing direct clinical psychological interventions to service users.
CNWL’s Addictions Directorate is led by a highly motivated team with vast experience in healthcare within community environments. We employ a range of psychologists and psychological therapists with clinical, counselling and generic trainings. Psychologists also work within the mental health services in a variety of sites and locations. Our psychologists also lead specific specialist services such as the National Problem Gambling Clinic, the Gaming Clinic and the Club Drug Clinic.
Joining a large, forward-thinking Trust will bring successful candidates excellent development opportunities, an exciting career structure, and job satisfaction. Psychologists from across the Addictions Directorate and the wider Trust come together for professional and clinical development and supervision and continuing professional development is integral to our trauma informed and stepped care model.
As an NHS Trust we strongly encourage and support vaccination as this remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients and service users when working on our healthcare settings.
This is a post which requires leadership skills and a forward-thinking attitude to help drive the service forward. An enthusiasm to explore new and innovative ways of providing evidence-based treatments is most welcome.
