Are you a passionate Clinical, Counselling, or Forensic Psychologist ready to make a real impact? Join our Adult Community Mental Health Teams (CMHTs) and help transform services through trauma-informed, person-centred care.
We’re looking for innovative, flexible practitioners committed to supporting adults (18+) experiencing moderate to severe mental health difficulties.
What we offer:
Roles across West, Mid, and North & East Cornwall
Posts at Band 7 (developmental) or Band 8A, depending on experience
Structured support to progress from Band 7 to 8A
Flexible working patterns, including some remote working, with an expectation to be primarily based within your team base in Cornwall for most of the week
Relocation package available
Applications welcome from trainees qualifying in 2026
This is a community-based role, requiring regular travel across Cornwall, including areas not easily accessible by public transport, so you’ll need a reliable way to meet these demands.
If you’re driven to make a difference and grow your career in a supportive, forward-thinking service, we’d love to hear from you.
This role sits alongside other practitioner psychologists, psychological therapists, assistant psychologists, trainee psychologists, Clinical Associate Psychologists (CAPs) and Mental Health Wellbeing Practitioners (MHWPs) embedded in an experienced, compassionate, trauma informed and person-centred multidisciplinary team which welcomes psychological interventions and collaborative working.
The role is a varied one providing assessment (including neurodevelopmental), formulation, individual and group interventions, and consultation using a range of therapeutic approaches.
You will also support psychological practice within the team by contributing a psychological perspective to team working, treatment planning and supervising other psychological professionals.
There is a key focus on quality to enhance services. We encourage our psychologists to develop their skills and knowledge with CPD opportunities and have a track record of being able to provide ongoing training in CAT, CBT-P, DBT, EMDR, and FIP.
There will be opportunities to contribute to the development of a new model of integrated primary and community mental health services linking Community Mental Health Teams, Integrated Neighbourhood Teams and Primary Care Networks.
We’re an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital-based care to improve people’s physical and mental health. We also provide specialist support to people with dementia or a learning disability.
We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you’ll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.
Over 4,000 people make up the Trust. This includes doctors, nurses, therapists, plus admin and support staff.
We work in people’s homes, in community clinics and bases. Some staff work from one of our 13 community hospitals. Our aspiration is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work and a great partner.
Approximately 568,000 people live here. A third of people who live in Cornwall are supported by acute hospital services in Devon. As a result, we also work closely with our partners in Devon. In the summer, and during other holidays lots of people choose to visit the area. This increase the numbers of people who use out services.
