Job description
Job responsibilities
The Role
and Person
The successful applicant will join a highly motivated,
supportive and friendly multi-disciplinary team, and will report directly to the
Clinical Lead. The service is psychology-led and holds psychological
assessment and formulation, as well as the Veterans we work with, at the core
of everything it offers.
You will be responsible for delivering outcome based
psychological therapy that is uniquely tailored to meet the needs of Veterans
living in the community. The service is community based and appointments
are offered where possible in the Veterans locality as well as remotely via
telephone and video.
Given the nature of the client group and the geographical needs
of the service, we are looking for a clinician with significant experience in
treating complex mental health needs in an autonomous capacity. Being
able to demonstrate experience in treating trauma and complex mental health
needs according to evidenced based guidelines is essential, as is experience of
working with this client group. Experience of using a range of
therapeutic modalities including CBT, EMDR and Compassion Focused Therapy would
also be an advantage. Equally important would be your ability to work
both autonomously within community based settings, as well as collaboratively
with other teams and professionals. The ability to consider and find
creative and flexible solutions to engage individuals in psychological
treatment is an essential skill in this setting. You will be able to work
independently, as well as closely and collaboratively with other clinicians in
the team and will be an effective communicator.
Within the role, you will be encouraged to develop your
strengths and skills through a robust structure of clinical supervision and
opportunities for professional development. St Andrews has an
excellent record of providing opportunities for research, training and
continuing professional development so you will also have access to peer support
from the wider Charity, as well as regular CPD events. Due to the
pioneering nature of this service, there will be opportunities for service
development including co-production with service users and an interest and
enthusiasm in these areas is desired.
One of our new team members who
recently joined our team had this to say about us:
What a refreshing and dynamic team! The clinicians are friendly
and warm but also focused and driven. Its amazing how quickly things get
progressed here from ideas into actions.
Community Partnerships offers something different to other
services that I have worked for previously; its diverse and expanding service
has provided me with opportunities to continually develop through working with
different client groups across a range of settings. This has allowed me to work
with and learn from a number of clinicians with different areas of expertise.
Its flexible working approach has also been great for promoting a good
work-life balance!
If
this sounds like your type of working environment, we look forward to receiving
your application.
The position is offered as a permanent contract.
