The post offers a diverse range of experience working with people with complex mental health difficulties. You will join a friendly and supportive group of psychologists in the locality and there will be opportunities to develop your knowledge and skills through CPD.

Expect your day to fly by!
Autonomy: Acute Inpatient Psychologists can personalise and tailor the role of Psychology for their wards.
Leadership: You will be able to develop the role of Psychology and influence the direction of the wider team in an environment designed for recovery and safety.
