Crynodeb
We are looking for someone who is able to engage positively and sensitively with people with mental health difficulties and their support networks, and be able to demonstrate an awareness of experiences and challenges that may face those experiencing mental health difficulties in the perinatal period. The Assistant Psychologist will support and enhance the psychological trauma-informed care of clients within the service. They will support structured assessments, the preparation and delivery of psychoeducational groups and manualised individual psychological interventions, under the supervision of a qualified psychologist. There are opportunities to get involved in Quality Improvement and evaluation within the service. An awareness of how trauma and loss may impact women and birthing people during the perinatal period would be helpful but support to develop in post will be provided. We are particularly interested to find a candidate who shares ELFTs values, is willing to learn and able to initiate good working relationships across team boundaries. We are actively working on how to become a more culturally sensitive service and address perinatal health inequalities and welcome applicants from Black or Asian ethnicity. The post requires the ability to occasionally travel between sites and offer home visits across Bedfordshire.
