A Vacancy at Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust.
We are looking for Newly Qualified or Principal Clinical Psychologists who shares our vision to work within our acute care pathway, specifically in our inpatient service.
Pebble Lodge is a 10-bed national service that provides inpatient care for young people whose care needs are best met in a hospital setting. As part of the post, there is the opportunity to be funded to complete training in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and/or EMDR.
In Dorset, we are transforming our child and adolescent mental health service into a Family Mental Health model that embraces and adopts the Thrive framework. The inpatient service falls within the Getting More Help and Getting Risk Support quadrants of Thrive.
We aspire to offer families a service that is built on compassion, social connection, and participation with our peers and parent peers, and a service that is understanding of the need to work in partnership with the wider network of education, social care and 3rd sector services in order to deliver support for families based on their needs.
There is the opportunity to become part of a multidisciplinary therapies team within our inpatient unit. Other team members include Occupational Therapy and Systemic Psychotherapy who work alongside the Mental Health Nursing, Social Work and Psychiatry team. Pebble Lodge also has a specialist education, activities, and a transitions team that you would work with in supporting the young people and families on the ward.
The post-holder would work directly with young people and their families providing a range of assessments and therapeutic work. You would also provide consultation and training for the clinical team to ensure that psychological thinking and formulation is at the core of service delivery.
Supervision from a Clinical Lead Psychologist will be provided and training will be arranged where needed.
We believe in supporting clinicians who have more recently qualified and help them to progress and develop, so we are also keen to hear from newly qualified psychologists who would like to take a preceptorship and progress to a Band 8a when all competencies are met.
At Dorset HealthCare we’re on a mission to empower people to make the most of their lives through our outstanding, joined-up healthcare services. We’re a dynamic, forward-looking Trust, running 12 community hospitals, specialist inpatient facilities and a wide range of integrated community and mental health services for a population of almost 800,000 people.
We do things differently here – it’s one of the reasons the CQC rated us ‘outstanding’ in 2019. It’s also why 95% of patients across our services say they have a good or very good experience of our services and 89% of staff feel they can really make a difference. Whether you’re looking to work with us in one of our bustling market towns, vibrant urban locations, thriving seaside spots, or among the rolling hills of Dorset, there are lots of ways you can make a difference in our communities.
Our 7,000-strong workforce is at the heart of what we do and our success is a testament to our brilliant people. We're all about building a workplace for the future, we believe in equal opportunities and we celebrate diversity. We’re an inclusive workplace, where everyone is welcome, everyone can be authentic, and we are all encouraged to be the best version of ourselves.
Working with us you’ll be part of a strong team, challenge yourself, build a career, and teach us what we don’t know. And you’ll be working towards our vision to be better every day through excellence, compassion and expertise in all we do.
