We have an exciting preceptorship development position for either a newly qualified Clinical/Counselling Psychologist/CBT therapist looking for a post with potential career progression, OR for an experienced Band 7/8A ready to apply directly for an 8A post.

The successful candidate will join our friendly community mental health team, in the Greenwich Early Intervention in Psychosis Service.

You will be part of an MDT helping the EIP service support the needs of people experiencing a range of psychosis related difficulties.

WE WOULD WELCOME APPLICATIONS FROM CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGISTS WHO ARE IN THEIR FINAL YEAR OF DOCTORAL TRAINING, and those who are looking for the opportunity for career development and wish to build the specialist skills and experience in line with the roles set out below.

There will be very close working with the other psychological therapists across EIP, and there will be lots of opportunity for additional support. For those applying for the preceptorship development post, following successful completion of a preceptorship programme (formal log of competencies), usually over a period of 18 -36 months, the Band 7 position will lead to a Band 8a.

If you are interested in this position or have any questions, we would welcome and encourage you to contact us for an informal discussion and/or to meet the team.

As part of the therapy team, you will be providing individual and group interventions, as well as working with families.

You will be supporting the wider MDT with psychological perspectives into individuals and families support and care needs. You will also have the opportunity to develop your supervision skills through supervising Trainee Clinical Psychologists, and Assistant Psychologists.



You will work with people from a range of different backgrounds and ages, and will ideally be passionate about equal opportunities and client-centred care. Working with clients within a secondary care team, you will have an opportunity to develop experience and skills and specialist skills in psychological interventions in working with this client group. You will have the opportunity to train further in NICE concordant interventions for psychosis such as CBTp and FiP, in addition to the option of being involved in our psychosis family therapy service, and accessing training in trauma therapies such as EMDR.



You will hold a clinical case load and be supervised by the ICMP Lead Psychologist. You will also have the opportunity to attend specialist supervision in CBTp, FiP, and other therapy modalities (e.g. ACT, EMDR).
