A Vacancy at Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust.

If you are keen to work with adults with a range of mental health difficulties, in a multidisciplinary team, as part of a dynamic psychology service, this job may be for you! Vacancies are available in the three Crisis Resolution Home Treatment Teams (CRHTTs) across Coventry and Warwickshire.

The post is suitable for experienced Assistant psychologists who are wishing to develop their skills in clinical work and research.

The CRHTTs work with people aged 18+ who are 'in crisis', with associated mental health difficulties, over a brief but intensive period. We offer an MDT approach helping to prevent admission to hospital and facilitating early discharge, including brief psychosocial interventions, to help people through that crisis period.

We aim for our staff team to reflect the population we work with, and we have a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion.

At Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust (CWPT), we deliver a wide range of physical, mental health, learning disability and autism services, and are proud to serve communities across Coventry, Warwickshire and beyond.

We put 'people at our heart'; this ethos is at the centre of everything we do and how we do it. We care for our staff and colleagues as much as they care for others and offer a wide range of benefits and development opportunities.

These include:
  • generous annual leave entitlement which increases during your time with us
  • excellent learning and development opportunities, including apprenticeship frameworks, distance learning, internal training, coaching and mentoring, and much more
  • salary sacrifice schemes for lease car/ vehicle, Cycle to Work, home and electronics, gym membership and more
  • discounts with a range of retailers, restaurants and entertainment venues through our Employee Assistance Programme and NHS discount schemes
  • wellbeing support, including an in-house counselling service, external helpline and more
  • staff networks and support group

We're always on the lookout for people who share our passion for improving the lives and wellbeing of people in our community, as well as our values of compassion, collaboration, excellence, integrity and respect

This description is not exhaustive however, the successful candidate will
  • Be responsible for supporting the Principal Psychologist and practitioner psychologists in the delivery and development of an effective clinical service to the CRHTTs
  • Deliver brief psychological interventions with service-users (on a 1-1 and group basis)
  • Take the lead on a research project (two projects are already established).
  • Carry out comprehensive note screens for service-users to assist in formulation and care planning
  • Support other members of the MDT to carry out psychologically-informed interventions
