This is an innovative role focused on improving how people affected by Long Term Health Conditions can access high quality and evidence-based psychological therapies within the GMMH footprint. The post-holder will join an evolving service that is aiming to develop the provision of Talking Therapies for people affected by Long-Term Health Conditions. The service has established a pathway across Manchester, Wigan, Salford, Bolton and Trafford that addresses the well-being and mental health needs of people with Post-COVID Syndrome/Long COVID, many of whom live with significant functional impairment, uncertainty, and distress. The service is piloting a new Talking Therapies pathway for people with respiratory conditions, with the aim of developing further pathways across a number of long-term health conditions.
The post-holder will join the existing GMMH Post-COVID Syndrome service that primarily delivers psychological therapies. The team consists of psychological wellbeing practitioners, cognitive-behavioural therapists and psychological therapists and incorporates a ‘hub’ of mental health professionals. The post-holder will be providing highly specialist psychological assessment for people affected by Post-COVID Syndrome, respiratory conditions and other long term health conditions that present with co-morbid and often complex psychological needs.
The post holder will also be responsible for the provision of high-quality individual and group therapy for these client groups.
The post holder will offer clinical supervision to colleagues within GMMH Talking Therapies and contribute to regular team discussions around complex and challenging presentations. They will provide expert advice and consultation to members of the primary health care team and secondary care services in the application of psychological theories, models and approaches. As required, they will be expected to undertake audit, research, and service development activities. The post holder will adhere to service standards for clinical activity and work within the procedures, protocols and guidelines for the service. They will provide psychological services in line with national clinical guidelines and in accordance with professional guidelines.
The post holder will work with people with different cultural backgrounds and ages, using interpreters when necessary, and should be committed to equal opportunities. The service is committed to improving access for clients and offering flexible working hours for staff. The post holder will be expected to work flexibly across a range of hospital- and community-based settings and deliver psychological services incorporating face-to-face and telephone or video appointments.
