Springbank ward is currently seeking to recruit an enthusiastic Clinical Psychologist to work within their unique award-winning Personality Disorder Unit in Cambridge.

Springbank is the only NHS specialist unit in the country that provides care in a distinctive way adopting least restrictive practice and positive risk-taking strategies.

As the ward psychologist you will have a busy and varied role. The ward adopts Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) as its core approach to assessment, formulation, treatment, and ward structure.

All staff have received some training in DBT and the skills and principles of DBT are woven into all interactions.

You will play a key role in modelling putting theory into practice.

In addition, the post holder will provide support and supervision to junior staff.

The post holder will also provide highly specialist clinical assessments and interventions as required and contribute a psychological perspective to multi-disciplinary reviews and discussions.
