The Role

We’ve got an exciting opportunity for an experienced HCPC registered Practitioner Psychologist (clinical/counselling/forensic) to develop our psychology service and psychosocial interventions in Gloucestershire. You may already be at consultant level or seeking an opportunity to move into that role. As part of this post, you will be part of a growing national psychology team and work closely with Via’s Head of Psychology. We offer:

• Protected time for training and maintaining CPD in ketamine-facilitated therapy at our Klearwell Clinic in London (if desirable).

The post holder will provide regional clinical leadership at our Gloucestershire service and help shape culture and processes. As part of a multi-disciplinary team, the post holder will help ensure that psychological thinking is a golden thread throughout our work, supporting development through consultancy, reflective practice, supervision, training, and clinical case management. The role will support other psychological professionals to develop and oversee the delivery of high quality psychological assessments and interventions.

Via offers community and residential services for substance use, as well as ketamine-facilitated psychotherapy at Klearwell. We nurture new ideas, put co-production at the heart of what we do, and provide clinicians with the support to explore and grow. Within this role, you will work directly with individuals and groups, flexibly delivering psychological support that responds to the context of people’s lives and works with the social determinants of health.
