Description

Adult Mental Health Inpatient Services provide multi-disciplinary care using a biopsychosocial model for service users over the age of 18.

The rehabilitation service provides care for service users with complex, long term mental health needs, who require intensive rehabilitation over a short to medium term.

Service users have often experienced trauma in their lives, and have a range of difficulties including psychosis, personality difficulties, neurodiversity and learning difficulties, risk to self and others, forensic issues and behaviours that can be challenging for teams.

Post holders will be part of a supportive inpatient psychology team which provides psychological services to Acute, Rehabilitation, and Older Adult services.

The post holders will be fully supported to enable them to progress to Band 8a within 2 years of having been in a Band 7 role.

This will require successful completion of a mutually agreed development plan, demonstration of the experience, skills, knowledge, and competencies required and confirmation of their suitability to progress by an assessment panel.

If the requirements are not fully achieved within 2 years the post holder will remain as a Band 7 and this outcome will be managed as part of the contract conditions agreed with the post holder at the outset.

We aim to attract and retain a diverse, talented and committed workforce, who are caring and compassionate, and therefore able to meet the demands of the modern NHS now and in the future.

In return we can offer a dynamic working environment in which to build a career.
