Ashworth Hospital High Secure Psychological Services are seeking to recruit an enthusiastic and dynamic full time Cognitive Behavioural Therapist for a twelve month fixed term period. You will need a drive to assist in the delivery of high quality psychological assessment and treatment to patients detained under the Mental Health Act and require placement within a high secure hospital due to the complexity of their presentations and associated risks. Within the hospital, psychological services deliver a wide range of assessments and treatments in relation to mental health, personality difficulties and offending behaviour risks. We provide treatment with a focus on those factors that will allow patients to a progress to lower secure placements in line with a least restrictive approach. Ideally, you will have experience of working with individuals with complex needs.
The department consists of a mix of clinical and forensic psychologists, a cognitive behavioural therapist and a nurse therapist. We have close links with both local and international universities and provide placements for trainee clinical and trainee forensic psychologists. The service has developed innovative clinical interventions and research.
We will welcome applications from enthusiastic, highly motivated and resourceful individuals who are keen to work as part of a team. The post will be advertised on trac.jobs from Tuesday 16 December to midnight 30 December. If there are fewer applicants than expected the window for applications may be extended.
