The post will suit a highly skilled, compassionate, experienced Practitioner Psychologist with an interest in developing skills across a wide range of therapeutic approaches and consultation skills, combined with a desire to work within a PICU.
Walkerwood is a 10-bedded male PICU at Tameside General Hospital. The team provides short-term intensive assessment, treatment, and support to men 18+, who maybe experiencing psychiatric crisis, and often present with a variety of complex mental health needs and challenging behaviours.
To maximise patient recovery, the teams will be working in a trauma informed way and utilising the RAID model of care. Our aim is to work in the least restrictive way as possible whilst maintaining service user safety.
