Description

We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and highly motivated Senior Assistant Psychologist to join our established and skilled Acute and Crisis Care pathway.

It is of note that this is a senior assistant psychologist post.

Applicants must have paid experience of working as an assistant psychologist (minimum Band 4), and preferably experience of working with individuals presenting with severe mental illness.

Acute care is a busy and vibrant setting to work in, but also demands the ability to work flexibly and responsively.


Mid and North Hampshire has adopted an innovative model in providing psychological therapies within acute care based on Comprehend, Cope and Connect model.

This involves the delivery of groups and individual work within the recovery model, focusing on skills acquisition and self-management.

The CCC is aimed at those who are in the midst of an acute crisis and/or suffer from a severe mental health problem, including those with personality disorders and psychosis.


The acute service comprises of 2 acute mental health wards (1 male, 1 female), a psychiatric intensive care unit (PICU) and a Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment team (CRHT), which provides acute mental health care to individuals in a community setting (i.e.

at home).

We are looking for an assistant psychologist to work primarily to support delivery of the group programme on the acute mental health wards.

The post will be based at Parklands Hospital in Basingstoke, although some travel may be required.
