This post provides a great opportunity to gain experience of working psychologically as an assistant psychologist in acute care services (inpatient acute wards and psychiatric intensive care unit) for adults of working age. You will be joining a relatively new team of psychologists and will be working closely with the qualified psychologists to provide psychological input to the Trusts adult inpatient wards at North View hospital, North Manchester. You will be working with a team of medical staff, nurses and occupational therapists. The multi- disciplinary teams on each ward specialise in caring for adults of working age, and offer assessment and treatment for a wide range of mental health needs. The psychology team seeks to support holistic, individualised, culturally sensitive care, planned and delivered in collaboration with each service user. We endeavour to work closely with urgent care and the community teams to ensure a joined -up admission and discharge, enabling each person to return to their optimum health.
The post holder will receive regular clinical supervision from a senior psychologist, and will receive appropriate training opportunities (both provided by the psychology team and external training opportunities .
The successful post holder will be working under the supervision of a qualified psychologist and with the operational support of acute care management to facilitate the running of psychology groups for service users on the wards and PICU. Other tasks may include brief focussed psychological interventions, supporting the qualified psychologists with team formulation sessions,, contributing to making ward environments more psychologically informed, and attending peer supervision sessions.
We have an interest in working psychologically with people who often do not get to access psychology (such as people with psychotic experiences or complex trauma). We are also interested in adapting psychological approaches to make them more inclusive and culturally sensitive. We have strong links to the regional Doctoral Clinical Psychology Training courses.
