Highly Specialist Clinical Psychologist * Development Role *
Join to apply for the Highly Specialist Clinical Psychologist * Development Role * at Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT).
This is an 8A post, but we welcome applicants seeking a B7 to 8A development opportunity in a supportive environment. It is suitable for a newly qualified band 7 clinical psychologist with potential for career progression, or an experienced band 8a psychologist to join a small multidisciplinary team of psychological and occupational therapists.
You will be responsible for conducting psychological assessments, providing therapeutic interventions for older adults in the community, and contributing to the team’s understanding of psychological difficulties through consultation, supervision, and training.
The service is located in Peterborough, a cathedral city with a diverse community in both urban and rural settings. It offers high-quality care to individuals aged 65 and above experiencing moderate to severe mental health issues, including affective disorders and psychosis. The scope includes treating dementia post-diagnosis and conducting neuropsychological assessments to inform diagnosis. You will be part of a friendly, established multidisciplinary team committed to recovery principles, empowering autonomy, and supporting individuals to reach their potential.
We prioritize supporting and developing psychologists within the team. Opportunities for CPD, research, and leadership development are encouraged. Our psychologists collaborate with the University of East Anglia’s Doctoral Clinical Psychology course, and some have completed CLAHRC fellowships. There are also future opportunities for leadership development and involvement in research and service audits.
Support and experience will be provided to help successful newly qualified applicants transition into an 8a role after gaining relevant post-qualifying experience.
Relocation package available (conditions apply). Adjusted hours can be considered.
