Summary
The DIST team covers the West Suffolk geographical area, with the team base in Bury St Edmunds. We have additional clinical bases in Newmarket, Sudbury, Thetford and Haverhill; although most clinical work is delivered to people in their home. Access to a vehicle and a full driving licence is therefore essential for this role. We are particularly keen to hear from applicants with a Psychology degree who have a commitment to working in the local region, from those with diverse backgrounds and from people who bring lived experience relevant to dementia care work. Ideally we would wish to recruit someone with familiarity in working with Older People, and a passion for specialising their career with Older People. The CAP role is a new psychology career path in its own right, and is not intended as a stepping stone to another post. The selection process will aim to recruit those suitable for and committed to training for this role who are not currently enrolled on another publicly funded training that will not be complete by the time of commencement in post. Please be aware that Health Education England introduced limitations that restrict access to publicly funded training courses until two years post qualification in another publicly funded programme. This affects programmes such as PWP, High Intensity CBT training, CAPs and Clinical Psychology. Please see the attached Job Description and Eligibility Criteria for full details. Please do make contact if you would like an informal discussion, with Dr Rebecca Poz,
