Highly Specialist Clinical Psychologist

We are seeking a highly motivated, compassionate, and skilled Practitioner Psychologist to join our multidisciplinary inpatient team in Hounslow. This is a pivotal role within a dynamic service committed to delivering psychologically informed, recovery-focused care for adults experiencing acute mental health difficulties.

The post involves sharing and embedding psychological and trauma-informed theory and practice within the work of the whole MDT. You will work on two female acute inpatient wards, providing highly specialist assessments and interventions for individuals with complex mental health needs, many of whom have experienced trauma and adverse circumstances.

Your main duties will include:

• Providing highly specialist assessments and interventions
• Developing formulations with and for service users
• Sharing formulations with the wider MDT to shape effective care plans
• Offering formal reflective spaces and post-incident support
• Providing psychological consultation and guidance to the whole MDT

Previous experience in complex mental health and inpatient care is essential, as is the desire to work within an MDT to promote psychological and trauma-informed ways of working and to develop your leadership skills.

In return, we offer funded training opportunities, flexible working opportunities, a comprehensive CPD and reflective practice program, and opportunities to work with the North Thames Doctorate courses.

West London NHS Trust is one of the most diverse healthcare providers in the UK, delivering a range of mental health and physical healthcare and community services.
