    Description

    Job summary

    Due to additional funding, the Greenwich and Bexley Community Long-term conditions Teams are expanding their Psychology provision.

    A significant proportion of the work will be with the Diabetes teams. This 8b Clinical/ Counselling Psychology post in Long-term conditions is a varied post and an exciting opportunity to work in a community-based setting in the boroughs of Greenwich and Bexley.

    Goldie Leigh Hospital is the main base but work at various clinics around the borough is part of the role. There will also be opportunities to work with staff across the directorate in offering reflective practice groups.

    The postholder(s) will be joining a dynamic and friendly network of psychologists in physical health in the Adult Community Physical Health Services Directorate. There are regular opportunities for CPD, networking and coming together with other psychologists working in physical health for collegiate support. There is a protected budget for CPD and this is also protected within job plans.

    Clinical supervision is provided from within the directorate and there is also access to special interest supervision groups within the Trust including an ACT supervision group and specialist neuropsychology supervision.

    The psychologists in Physical health meet on a regular basis so postholders will have exposure to other physical health specialities as well as gaining insight into psychological ways of working within other specialities.

    Main duties of the job

    To set up and ensure the delivery of the systematic provision of a high quality and specialist psychological therapy service to service users of the Greenwich and Bexley Community Long term conditions service, specifically Diabetes.

    To offer training, supervision, consultation, advice, and guidance on the provision of psychological care to non-psychologist colleagues and other clinical members of the team, and to other non-professional carers and a range of professional bodies.

    To offer training, supervision, consultation, advice, and guidance to other psychology colleagues in the long term conditions team, specifically (but not limited to) the Diabetes psychology posts in Greenwich and Bexley, and elsewhere as appropriate across the Directorate and Trust.

    To work autonomously within professional guidelines and exercise responsibility for the systematic governance of psychological practice within the service. This role will develop as the service is established.

    To utilise research skills for audit, policy and service development and research within the area served by the team/service.

    To contribute to the development of the service including the routine collection of outcome data as required by the service.

    It will be a requirement of this role to participate in job planning which forms a key part of the working practices of qualified psychological therapists.
