You will be part of the PLS Leadership team, contributing a psychological perspective to multidisciplinary service development and delivery within the general acute hospital and A&E settings.
Clinical work focuses both on complex health presentations from the general acute hospital as well as service users with severe mental health difficulties and high risk presenting in crisis to A&E. Clinical work on the hospital side is varied, including service users with eating disorders, FND, MUS, depression and anxiety, as well as those who are experiencing long hospital stays in the face of multiple physical and mental health issues. There are opportunities to develop joint work with health disciplines across the hospital, and to devise training programmes for the general wards. On the A&E side, we offer a ‘follow-up psychology clinic’ for those who have presented with an attempt on their life and need brief psychological support to stabilise and prevent future suicide.
Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve. Our values are: We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive – so we are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues in the Trust and our partner organisations
The post holder would join regular countywide Psychology Clinical Governance and peer-led CPD meetings.
