We are seeking three part-time assistant psychologist positions
The SPMHS is made up of a full MDT: consultant psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, nurses, occupational therapists, social workers, family therapist, nursery nurses, peer support workers and pharmacist. MDT sub-teams staff work closely with the maternity sites in North Central London, Barnet Hospital, Royal Free Hospital, North Middlesex University Hospital, University College Hospital and Whittington Hospital. Clinics normally run at team bases, maternity sites, children’s centres, and community centres across the boroughs as well as home visits. Some clinical work is additionally carried out via video call.
You will need to be motivated, organised, creative, have excellent interpersonal skills and a passion / interest in working with women and families in the antenatal and postnatal period who have experienced significant trauma.
The role of the post-holder is to support and provide psychological assessments and psychological interventions under the direction and supervision of the team’s clinical/counselling psychologists and team practitioners, in line with the evidence base and NICE guidelines. It is also to collect and analyse data on these and other services as requested.
Under direction, supervision and guidance of senior staff, the post-holder may help develop psychological approaches, interventions, tools and resources to be used by colleagues, service users and families.
Why choose to join the North London NHS Foundation Trust?
We believe that by working together, our Trust can achieve more for the residents of North Central London and our patients than we can by working apart.
Our Five-Year Strategy:
1. We will provide consistently high-quality care closer to home.
2. With our partners in North London and each borough we will ensure equity of outcome for all
3. We will offer great places to work, providing staff with supportive environment to deliver outstanding care.
4. We will be more effective as an organisation by pioneering research, quality improvement and technology.
The postholder will need to be comfortable working in an environment of complex matrix management arrangements and will at all times behave and align with our Trusts’ values and cultural pillars:
• To assist the clinical/counselling psychologists in the SPMH Service where appropriate.
• To assist in the formulation and delivery of evidence-based assessments and clinical interventions including individual therapy sessions where appropriate under the supervision of a qualified professional psychologist.
• To assist in the planning organisation and delivery of therapeutic groups under supervision of a clinical / counselling psychologist.
• To gather and organise information about relevant psychological interventions and clinical tools for use by other staff.
• To work alongside other team members and ensure close liaison and communication with the MDTs.
• To maintain a high degree of professionalism at all times when working with service users, families, and colleagues.
• To maintain clinical records and statistics as appropriate.
