Description

The Inpatient Psychological Service sits within and across the 4 inpatient wards in Buckinghamshire

We have 4 wards:
Ruby (female acute) and Sapphire (male acute), Opal (Rehabilitation) and Amber (older adult).

The post holder will be based full time on Sapphire Ward, with a highly skilled multi-disciplinary mental health staff team that include Nurses, Psychiatrists, Occupational Therapists, Health Care Assistants and Peer Support Workers.

The post holder will work closely with the Qualified Psychological Practitioner / Clinical or Counselling Psychologist / Consultant Clinical Psychologist in the Inpatient team and support them in achieving key objectives of delivering integrated, safe, accessible, responsive, effective and caring services to people in Buckinghamshire.

In turn, you will receive clinical supervision and will have access to a wide range of CPD activities and a strong network of Psychologists in Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.

There are excellent opportunities for service development, service evaluation/research and teaching/training.

The service has excellent links with the Oxford Institute of Clinical Psychology Training and Research and regularly has trainees doing clinical placements and research.

The Psychological Therapies team are actively involved in research and innovation.

The post holder may be required to travel between Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire sites and occasionally elsewhere in the Region or nationally, (to attend professional meetings and training events).

The transport of psychological test materials, audio-visual and IT equipment may occasionally be required.
