    The community mental health team provides care to older people with mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, personality disorder and psychosis, as well as for people with dementia and their carers. Snowdrop Ward is a modern, newly refurbished 14 bedded ward which provides assessment and care for older persons with acute mental health difficulties, committed to providing an exceptional standard of treatment and patient centred care for service users in a safe, cooperative & therapeutic environment.

    This post will be line managed and supervised by a senior Clinical Psychologist working in OPMH and link with other Clinical Psychologists working within OPMH services across the Trust. The trust has also a number of trainee Clinical Associates in Psychology working in OPMH. We have strong links with the University of Southampton, particularly with the Doctoral Programme in Clinical Psychology, the MSc/Diploma in Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy for Severe Mental Health Problems and training courses for IAPT.

    Main duties of the job

    The responsibilities will include the provision of psychological assessment (including neuropsychology) and therapy to older people and their carers in community, clinic and an inpatient setting, to be a source of advice to the multi-professional team on psychological issues and to offer consultation and advice to other mental health and physical health professionals. The successful post holder will also assist in an exciting initiative to upskill the CMHT and inpatient staff team in psychological approaches, including Comprehend, Cope and Connect (CCC). Supervision of a clinical psychology trainee, trainee and qualified Clinical Associates in Psychology (CAP) and contribution to service development will also be required for candidates at 8a level. Candidates who have an interest in neuropsychology will have an opportunity to develop these skills further.
