Crynodeb
At Via, our mission is to provide the best health and wellbeing support to as many people as possible, helping them to change their lives for the better.
Last year, we supported over 11,000 people across the UK affected by alcohol and drug use.
Everything we do is driven by our values:
• Care. Care for people is at the heart of everything we do.
• Be human. We are accessible, genuine and humble. Always learning.
• Do the right thing. We’re open, honest and inclusive. We get things done.
We want to recruit the very best talent. We believe in nurturing a positive workplace culture where our colleagues feel valued, recognised, empowered, and supported.
What we’re looking for
This is an exciting opportunity to join a fast-paced and growing organisation.
We’re looking for a Lead Practitioner Psychologist (equivalent NHS AFC band 8b) to provide clinical supervision to a range of our drug and alcohol services. This will also include focused support to our Kingston service where you’ll provide consultancy, supervision, training, and supporting our group programme.
This well-supported post is ideal for practitioners seeking to step into a leadership position whilst continuing to grow diverse skills that contribute to trauma-informed working.
Via has been growing provision of psychological expertise across our services and the post-holder would be part of a thriving psychology professionals’ team who meet regularly to provide support, CPD opportunities, share learning and collaborate to implement the shared vision for psychologically-informed practice across the organisation. This role will provide clinical supervision to our services that do not yet have a dedicated in-service psychological professional, including our young people services (supervision can be online where geographically challenging). Up to four days a week of this post will be dedicated to providing supervision to these services. One day a week, the postholder will be embedded in our Kingston service, playing a key role in shaping culture and processes. As part of a multi-disciplinary team, the post holder will help ensure that psychological thinking is a golden thread throughout our work, supporting development through consultancy, reflective practice, supervision, training, supporting our group programme, and clinical case management. The role will support other psychological professionals to develop and oversee the delivery of high quality psychological assessments and interventions.
This is not just a job – you’ll help people rebuild their lives, reconnect with their family and friends, return to work or education, and much more.
We’re looking for individuals with compassion, good communication skills and the ability to stay calm under pressure.
Via offers community and residential services for substance use. We nurture new ideas, put co-production at the heart of what we do, and provide clinicians with the support to explore and grow.
Deadline: 04-01-2025 at midnight
Salary: up to £80,837 per annum including London weighting
Vacancy type: Permanent
Working hours: This is a full-time role, however contracted hours could be negotiable for the right person. The successful candidate will be required to be based in our Kingston service at Surbiton Health Centre one day per week, but the others can be flexible to work from home
Our Head of Psychology, Laurie Higbed is happy to talk through the role, what a typical day might look like, development opportunities, and Via’s national clinician network. You can reach them on Laurie.Higbed@viaorg.uk or 07395 358369 (Tuesday- Thursday).
