Job Description

We would like to present an exciting opportunity for a Band 4 Assistant Psychologist to join a dynamic and expanding team supporting people with symptoms of mild to moderate personality disorder across Northumberland and North Tyneside. This post is a full time permanent opportunity working within the H.O.P.E team; a psychology led service which has been co-developed alongside people with lived experience of mental health services.



Based in Blyth, the successful candidate will work alongside experienced clinicians to co-facilitate therapeutic groups (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) through a combination of video calls and face-to-face appointments across community venues in Northumberland and North Tyneside.



The successful candidate will be well supported and supervised by our Consultant Psychologist, and will work alongside an experienced and committed team of clinicians and peer support workers .



Under supervision the postholder will support with the delivery of group intervention and also provide one to one support to service users. You will receive regular supervision and the chance to engage in ongoing continuing professional development.



You will work as part of an MDT, alongside a variety of other professionals including a family therapist and consultant clinical psychologist. The successful applicant will be enthusiastic and motivated to make a difference to the lives of people who struggle with emotional and relational problems, often underpinned by trauma.



This post will have a strong clinical role along with service development and evaluation projects. You will support with the delivery of training, assist with psychological assessments and score, interpret and summarise psychometric data.



We aim to attract and retain a diverse, talented and committed workforce, who are caring and compassionate, and therefore able to meet the demands of the modern NHS now and in the future. In return we can offer a dynamic working environment in which to build a career.



If you would welcome the opportunity to become part of a warm, friendly and welcoming team with a great range of skills and experience then this could be the post for you. Here within the HOPE Team, there is a real sense of team spirit, and we are looking to add clinicians with this same positive outlook to our already excellent skill set. As part of this team, you will be encouraged to grow and develop in your role, and to contribute to the development of the service.
