Description

The Specialist Perinatal Service is a multidisciplinary and well-established team providing a range of tailored approaches to meet the mental health needs of women, birthing people, and their families in the perinatal period.

Our core purpose is to work with women, birthing people to address their mental health needs and mitigate any impact on the unborn baby and infant.

We aim to provide a timely, integrated, high quality, effective, multi-disciplinary service.

We are keen to develop services by offering a permanent opportunity for a Band 8a Senior Psychological Therapist.

The post holder will undertake initial assessments and direct therapeutic work with women, birthing people experiencing a wide range of mental health problems, often relating to complex trauma or attachment difficulties.

There are also opportunities for indirect working, including supervision, consultation, and training to both colleagues within the Specialist Perinatal Team and wider systems.

The post offers an incredibly supportive team working environment.

The successful post holder will receive regular and consistent clinical and professional supervision and develop relationships with established psychological therapists working within the service who regularly meet for ongoing CPD, discussion of clinical / professional issues and invaluable peer support.

There are also many opportunities for professional development and additional internal and external training is actively encouraged and supported.

Our service is keen to recruit people who enjoy working in a multi-disciplinary team, who are passionate, creative, adaptable, and responsive to working with and meeting the needs of women, birthing people, partners, and families during such a fundamentally important and crucial time.

Greater Manchester Mental Health (GMMH) Foundation Trust employs over 6,400 members of staff, who deliver services from more than 160 locations.

We provide inpatient and community-based mental health care for people living in Bolton, the city of Manchester, Salford, Trafford and the borough of Wigan, and a wide range of specialist mental health and substance misuse services across Greater Manchester, the north west of England and beyond.
