We hope that you will join us as our Band 4 Assistant Psychologist, supporting the delivery of the new Young People’s Specialist Support Team across the Pennine Care footprint.
This is an Assistant Psychologist role within a multiagency team comprising clinical psychology, learning disability nursing, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy and support workers. The Young People’s Specialist Support Team sits alongside the Community Learning Disability and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services across the footprint, consisting of community learning disability nursing, clinical psychology and psychiatry.
The team will be working with a small number of children and young people who have severe learning disabilities and who have been identified as having complex needs including autism and/or behaviour that challenges, that require intensive support. Working alongside the local respite and short breaks services, the Young People’s Specialist Support Team will work together to create, instigate and support trauma-focused, person-centred, positive behaviour support plans with the aim of improving the quality of life for this group of children and young people and reduce any restrictions or restraints (in accordance with NICE guidance).
The post holder will have experience working with children and young people and have developed some skills in assessment, formulation, intervention and evaluation. The postholder will have experience of working in multi-agency settings. Due to the level of independent working and management of risk, the postholder is expected to have experience of working with this client group and an interest in working with children with learning disabilities and complex needs.
We are proud to provide high quality mental health and learning disability services, both inpatient and in the community across five boroughs of Greater Manchester - Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport and Tameside and Glossop.
Our vision is for a happier and more hopeful life for everyone in our communities and our staff work hard to deliver the very best care for the people who use our services. We’re really proud of our #PennineCarePeople and do everything we can to make sure we’re a great place to work.
All individuals regardless of race, age, disability, ethnicity, nationality, gender, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, religion or belief, marriage and civil partnership are encouraged to apply for this post. We would also encourage applications from individuals with a lived experience of mental illness, either individually or as a carer.
This is a role that will truly enable you to make a system wide difference to children with severe learning disabilities and complex needs. Work with us and put your passion into practice. See that attached job description for detailed duties and responsibilities.
