We are looking for a Clinical Psychologist to work into one of our Inpatient Rehabilitation Adult Mental Health wards at St George's Park in Morpeth, Northumberland. The service is part of the complex psychosis pathway.
This is a fixed term contract until the end of June 2027, 0.8WTE (4 days a week) role to cover maternity leave and support the team to continue to deliver psychological work within the pathway.
We are looking for someone who is passionate about promoting psychological thinking at every level and working with complex presentations and systems. The successful candidate will be working as part of a small team of Psychologists into the ward.
The post holder will provide psychological assessments, formulations and interventions. This includes neuropsychological assessments.
The post holder will contribute to clinical discussions and decision making alongside the wider multidisciplinary team.
The post holder will facilitate team formulations and reflective practice as well as clinical supervision and consultation in accordance with service needs.
The post holder will be supported to undertake research, teaching and supervision experience as part of the role and we are keen to support individuals to pursue their interests and areas of expertise.
Within inpatients our Psychology team is made up of Clinical and Counselling Psychologists, Psychological Therapists, Art Psychotherapists and Assistant Psychologists- across three pathways; acute, rehab and older adults.
We are a friendly, inclusive and diverse group of practitioners who bring a range of interests, experience and skills to the work we do. The Psychology team is well embedded into the respective wards within each pathway but are also located together in terms of office space at St George's Park which means that we maintain strong working relationships with each other across pathways as well.
Within our rehab psychology team the ethos is very much about meeting people where they are at, adapting our psychological work to make it more accessible and understanding problems as not just located within the person but as a product of the wider system, and as such working with that system to seek better outcomes for our patients.
We aim to attract and retain a diverse, talented and committed workforce, who are caring and compassionate, and therefore able to meet the demands of the modern NHS now and in the future. In return we can offer a dynamic working environment in which to build a career.
