Join to apply for the Specialist/Senior Psychologist role at Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board
We are looking to recruit a practitioner psychologist to provide specialist provision within CTM’s adult community mental health teams. The successful candidate will join a diverse and passionate team of psychologists working across the community teams in CTM. Senior colleagues will provide support and mentoring to the successful candidate to develop within the post, and to engage in CPD.
The CMHT psychologists are also currently engaged in an exciting period of service development where there are many opportunities to be involved and work within your area of interest.
The CMHT psychology service is made up of clinical and counselling psychologists, and assistant psychologists. We also currently have a CAAP trainee and are developing this role within our service. We have close links with both the clinical and counselling doctorate in South Wales and consistently have trainees on placement with us.
The wider CTM psychology service is going through a period of development aimed to foster good links and communication across specialities and is a thriving department to sit within. There are service wide conferences held where all specialities are invited to share good practice and innovative work. Colleagues are also encouraged to support each other with specialist skills in both clinical and service development work.
The post involves taking a lead in promoting psychological ways of understanding and working across adult mental health, including service development and application of evidence-based, trauma informed models within CMHT’s and working with complex and long-term service users.
This will include undertaking complex clinical work, developing and delivering group programmes, providing training, supervision, formulation and professional reflective spaces for colleagues in psychology and other disciplines.
They will also be expected and supported to undertake further training in relevant specialist areas, monitor and evaluate service developments and provide regular reports as appropriate.
This post holder will work autonomously within professional guidelines and the overall framework of the service’s policies and procedures.
