Our client has a vacancy for a suitably qualified Forensic, Clinical or Counselling Psychologist at their Hospital. As a newly qualified psychologist, the opportunities for personal development, amongst a friendly and experienced team are vast.  Alternatively, if you’re a more experienced psychologist, there are fantastic opportunities to shape future service delivery, both within the hospital and wider forums. 

The hospital currently provides a medium-secure care setting in which patients access a broad range of therapeutic interventions including one-to-one and group-based psychological treatments. The service has produced excellent recovery results for patients, maximising their opportunity to progress to conditions of lower-security and community settings as safely and efficiently as possible.

The hospital is currently providing care for up to 88 male and female patients with a broad range of diagnoses including autism spectrum disorder, learning disability, mental illness, and personality disorder. This diverse patient population makes the hospital a fulfilling and stimulating environment in which to work, and provides the opportunity to develop a broad range of clinical skills as well as areas of clinical specialism. 

The successful individual will be an enthusiastic and motivated forensic, clinical or counselling psychologist. 

Requirements:

• Full registration as a Practitioner Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
• Post-qualification experience of working with complex patients, ideally in a secure or locked setting, as well as experience of supervising others is advantageous but not essential. 

Benefits include:

• Generous relocation support
• Full induction and training package and career development opportunities
• Subsidised meals
• Free parking
