What you'll be doing

You'll be part of a dedicated and compassionate team, all working together to ensure the smooth running of the hospital and to support the wellbeing of our patients.

As a core member of both the Therapy Team and MDT, you will:

• Provide comprehensive psychological assessments, formulations, and reports.
• Deliver evidence-based individual and group interventions (e.g., CBT, DBT-informed, ACT, Schema Therapy).
• Contribute to care planning and risk management through collaborative MDT discussions.
• Offer clinical guidance to nursing, occupational therapy, and medical colleagues to promote a psychologically-informed environment.
• Facilitate reflective practice sessions, staff training, and contribute to service development. Work closely with psychiatrists, nurses, dietitians, and other professionals to ensure holistic care for patients with complex needs

What you'll bring to the role

Our work is rewarding but can be challenging, so resilience is key. No two days are the same! Your natural empathy will help you support others through both the highs and lows. We are seeking an HCPC Registered Psychologist (Clinical or Counselling) with experience working in inpatient mental health settings, ideally with exposure to acute services and/or eating disorder care.

The role requires excellent collaboration skills, the resilience to thrive in challenging situations, and a commitment to reflective practice, supervision, and ongoing professional development.
