Join to apply for the
Clinical/Counselling/Forensic Psychologist - Mid ICA
role at
Phoenix MCT. Are you a passionate, reflective, and committed practitioner psychologist, dedicated to applying empirical research to psychological practice? Would you like to be part of the exciting and innovative transformation of community mental health services? Can you embrace the challenges of working in a dynamic and diverse team that mirrors the population it serves? Are you interested in bringing your experience and creativity to a community-based psychologist role? We are committed to developing our Clinical/Counselling/Forensic psychologists. Our posts are available at Band 7 (a developmental post) or 8A depending on experience. Relevant support and experience will be provided to ensure that successful newly qualified applicants can transition into an 8A psychology post after demonstrating significant post-qualifying experience and meeting the requirements. Please note that, whilst working patterns will be flexible and include some remote working, there will be a requirement for the successful applicants to be physically based within team bases in Cornwall for most of the week. A relocation package is available for discussion. This is a community-based role that requires frequent travel to various locations throughout the county, including areas that may not be accessible by public transportation. Successful candidates will need to demonstrate how they will manage these travel requirements. This role sits alongside other practitioner psychologists, psychological therapists, assistant psychologists, trainee psychologists, Clinical Associate Psychologists (CAPs), and Mental Health Wellbeing Practitioners (MHWPs) embedded in an experienced, compassionate, trauma-informed, and person-centred multidisciplinary team which welcomes psychological interventions and collaborative working. The role is varied, providing assessment (including neurodevelopmental), formulation, individual and group interventions, and consultation using a range of therapeutic approaches. You will support psychological practice within the team by contributing a psychological perspective to team working, treatment planning, and supervising other psychological professionals. There is a key focus on quality to enhance services. We encourage our psychologists to develop their skills and knowledge with CPD opportunities and have a track record of providing ongoing training in CAT, CBT-P, DBT, EMDR, and FIP. There will be opportunities to contribute to the development of a new model of integrated primary and community mental health services linking Community Mental Health Teams and Primary Care Networks. We are an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital-based care to improve people's physical and mental health and provide support to people with dementia or learning disabilities. We are a people organisation, and people matter to us. As part of the team, you'll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK. Over 4,000 staff, including doctors, nurses, therapists, admin, and support staff, work across our services. We operate in people's homes, community clinics, bases, and some staff work from our 13 community hospitals. Our aim is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work, and a great partner. Approximately 568,000 people live here. A third of Cornwall's population is supported by hospitals in Devon. We also work closely with partners in Devon. During holidays and summer, the number of service users increases.
