Consultant Clinical Psychologist Forensic : Band 8C : Permanent : 22.3hpw
An opportunity has arisen to develop specialist Forensic Psychology provision for NHS Dumfries and Galloway. This post will require an enthusiastic and knowledgeable Consultant Applied Psychologist (Clinical or Counselling) to develop and enhance this service. This post will be instrumental in working with multi-agency partners to support this client group.
Dumfries & Galloway is situated in the South West of Scotland and the department has a complement of over 90 staff, with Clinical Psychologists in all major specialities. It is a friendly, supportive and lively place to work. We have strong links with Edinburgh, Glasgow and Stirling Universities and take trainees from both Clinical Psychology and Masters courses. We also provide placements and supervision for CBT Therapists.
The post has dedicated CPD and supervision time.
Flexible working arrangements may be considered.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full-time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week for NHS Agenda for Change workers in Scotland from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period, for which you would be paid, until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week.
