Advance your career in Applied Psychology in beautiful Aberdeenshire
Aberdeenshire Health and Social Care Partnership offers a fantastic opportunity to advance your career as a Clinical/Counselling Psychologist working in Primary Care across Aberdeenshire with adults presenting with moderate to severe mental health problems.
This appointment will be on a full-time basis (37 hours per week) and based in Aberdeenshire. The successful candidate will contribute to the ongoing development of a new and exciting Primary Care Psychological Therapies Team, offering supervision and support to an existing team of Psychological Therapists and Wellbeing Workers, as well as working clinically across a number of GP practices.
There are good opportunities to become involved in teaching and research activities via well-established links with Aberdeen University Departments of Mental Health, Psychology, and General Practice and Primary Care. There will also be an opportunity to offer clinical placements for trainees undertaking doctoral training on the University of Edinburgh/NHS Scotland Clinical Psychology Training Programme.

This post offers the opportunity to advance your career in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Aberdeenshire stretches from "one of the last great places on earth" (the Cairngorms) to "one of the world's top-rated coastlines" (from National Geographic). For those with families, Aberdeen City boasts some of the best schools in Scotland, and the vibrant local economy provides a range of job opportunities for partners. The area also offers a wide range of outdoor activities and sports, along with a city known for its excellent restaurants, diverse music venues, and top theatre productions.
Aberdeenshire is situated in the North East of Scotland, but with an easily accessible airport, it is convenient to stay connected to the UK and beyond. For example, you can fly to London from Aberdeen in just over an hour at reasonable prices.
Interviews will take place on 01 August 2025.
