You will have the opportunity to develop our psychology services and psychosocial interventions to support people experiencing a range of difficulties, many associated with drug and alcohol use.

We are looking for an HCPC registered Consultant Psychologist (i.e Clinical, Counselling, Forensic) with experience of working at a Band 8/9(NHS) equivalent level. We will assure ourselves of competency levels of candidates alongside BPS colleagues as part of selection processes.

For you to thrive in this role you will need to be an open-minded leader of Psychology and Psychological Therapies. Our organisation is exploring new ways of working and innovating to extend the impact of Psychology, and you will need to be as enthusiastic as we are about the opportunities that we have before us to lead this vision.

You will appreciate and understand the value of ‘non-regulated’ colleagues and embrace integrated working. We are at an exciting point of change, examining psychosocial evidence-based practice and how Psychology can further support us to do things better. You will be committed to creating equity and quality of provision, and inclusive and supportive structures.

We have a brilliant team of Psychologists and qualified counsellors; and a range of highly committed and passionate staff who deliver psychosocial interventions – whether on a 1-1 basis or in groups. Our teams are vibrant, diverse, and multidisciplinary – you would be starting in a good place!

As part of our Clinical and Care Team you will work to provide organisational strategic leadership for high quality, accessible and inclusive services for people of all ages and needs requiring support from Change Grow Live, working flexibility and contributing to wider strategic aims and the development of the organisation.
