Salary Dependent on Banding - Band 7 or 8a

We are a forward-thinking department in terms of the services we provide to our service users, how we influence the wider system and the development and progression of our staff.

You will be part of a small but supportive psychology team made up of Clinical and Assistant Psychologists. We provide routinely placements for colleagues in training through our link with the Trent Doctoral course. We are keen to grow our team and build ourselves to a position of excellence in provision of psychology to people with Intellectual Disabilities.

The post holder would primarily work within our Community Intellectual Disability Team services in North and West Notts but would input into directorate wide pathways.

We have vacancies at an 8a level but welcome and encourage applicants wishing to be considered for a 7 to 8a preceptorship role for anyone wishing to develop a career within Intellectual Disabilities.

A band 7 candidate would be supported to successfully plan and complete a competency framework in order to progress to band 8a, having demonstrated the skills and competence to work at this level.

We will be encouraging new colleagues to come with ideas for research and ensure a job plan that enables the time and support to follow this through.

The IDD service provides specialist care for those aged over 18 with intellectual disabilities and neurodevelopmental conditions, focusing on those whose needs cannot be met by a mainstream provision. We work to improve the mental and physical wellbeing of our service users, whatever their complexity of need.

There are four CIDT’s providing high quality, multidisciplinary assessment and treatment to people with Intellectual Disabilities across Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire County. They work closely with partners in primary care, social care, the private and voluntary sectors to maximise opportunity, health and quality of life for people in the community.

We currently have opportunities for Clinical Psychologists in our North and West Community Intellectual Disability Teams (CIDT). These teams cover Mansfield, Ashfield, Bassetlaw and Newark.

The role will be varied, providing supervision, consultation, teaching and support to colleagues. There will be direct work with service users & families. You will work closely with team members, maximising and ensuring effective governance of psychological work. There is opportunity to develop special interests in therapeutic interventions.

WTE 37.5 Hrs per week (Part time / Flexible working options would be available. We are happy to discuss working from home arrangements).

Nottinghamshire Healthcare employs over 10,000 colleagues who help #MakeADifference every day. We provide intellectual disability, mental health, community health, forensic and offender healthcare services across Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire. Care is delivered from over 120 sites within the community from acute settings and across low, medium and high secure environments including prisons.

As one of the largest mental health and community trusts in the East Midlands and one of the biggest employers in Nottinghamshire. We are also home to national and regional services such as the National High Secure Deaf Service and the Nottingham Centre for Transgender Health.

We are committed to flexible and agile working, including the opportunity to join our bank.

Your health and wellbeing is our priority and as such we invest significantly in this via our in-house Occupational Health Service, Staff Counselling Service and Health and Wellbeing Team.

We offer a number of employee-led staff networks, including Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) groups, our Green Champions Network, Freedom to Speak Up Network. Health and Wellbeing Champions Network and Menopause Champions. We provide care to a diverse range of communities and are passionate about supporting diversity and inclusion in the Trust.

If you believe in our values of Trust, Honesty, Respect, Compassion and Teamwork, then we would love to hear from you!
