    We are seeking a Band 7 Clinical or Counselling psychologist or Social Worker/Nurse with CBT trainingto work in one of our new Mental Health Integrated Network (MINT) teams. These teams are innovative and cover both primary and secondary care adult mental health provision.

    This post is an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic early-career psychologist looking to develop and consolidate specialist clinical skills in working with complex needs, trauma and personality disorder diagnoses. Whilst you will use a range of interventions, we are looking for someone who has a particular interest in DBT and who can help to further develop and embed this model in our service. Applications are welcomed from those who do not yet have a DBT qualification - we will support the right candidate to undertake training and achieve accreditation.

    In addition to working 1-1 with clients, a significant part of this post involves embedding and developing psychological principles and thinking within the work of the whole MDT. Therefore, we require a candidate who thrives in a team environment and is passionate about dissemination of psychological thinking, consultation and leadership.

    Main duties of the job The post holder would be a member of one of three MDTs in Hammersmith & Fulham, and would be expected to contribute to the development and delivery of treatment pathways within these teams, and to support the teams more generally in formulating and caring for service users.

    The psychology team aims to offer a range of evidence-based treatments for the above disorders, including EMDR, DBT, and CBT for psychosis. Training in all these therapies is made available, delivered by expert external providers, and supported with the necessary specialist supervision.

    As well as working within an MDT, the post holder will be part of the wider MINT psychology team, covering the three MINT teams in Hammersmith & Fulham. This includes clinical and counselling psychologists, CBT therapists, and clinical associate psychologists, as well as students and trainees. We work together in delivering evidence based group therapies and fostering space for reflective practice. You will also develop close working relationships with other local psychologists in related services.

    As already mentioned, there is an excellent CPD programme. Half a day a week is set aside for CPD, and training is available in therapies such as EMDR and DBT, which can lead to accreditation in these therapies. We can also support training in other models to support your personal and professional development where it will enhance the service we are able to offer our service users.
