We are delighted to be advertising for a dynamic and hard-working Assistant Psychologist to join the High Weald, Lewes & The Havens (HWLH) Adult Mental Health Assessment & Treatment Service (ATS).

This is an established post, working 9am-5pm, four days a week at Millwood in Uckfield which is a rural town set in beautiful Sussex countryside.

The ATS is a friendly, supportive multi-disciplinary team that delivers specialist care and clinical interventions to adults with severe and enduring mental health difficulties.

This post provides an excellent opportunity for someone to gain experience of thinking and working psychologically with complex mental health presentations.

There will also be opportunities to contribute to a number of Trust wide research clinics supporting innovative clinical practice.

Training and staff development are important to us as a service and we have a good track record of supporting people to move on to further specialist training as Cognitive Behavioural Therapists and Clinical/counselling Psychologists.

The successful applicant will therefore have excellent IT skills, be proficient in the use of Excel, Power Point, and data analysis and presentation and be generally well organised.

We are a cohesive and supportive team of six Psychologists and Psychological therapists. We regularly have trainees on placement. This post will be supervised weekly by one of the team Psychologists or Psychological therapists.

Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust aims to realise the potential of its service users and its staff. The Trust has teaching status and is developing into one of the country's leading teaching mental health trusts.
