{"interviewQueryText":"What are some good interview questions in British English for the job description below?\n\n-------------------------------------------\n\nClinical/Counselling Psychologist with NELFT NHS Foundation Trust in London, England, United Kingdom\n\nAn exciting opportunity has arisen for a Clinical/Counselling Psychologist to join the NELFT Rough Sleepers Mental Health Team. This is an emerging clinical service which was originally funded by the GLA and MHCLG for a 2-year pilot project. The success of the pilot has enabled continued funding and the opportunity to expand the staffing establishment, and the role of Psychology Lead is critical to the ethos and operation of the service. The multi-disciplinary team also includes a Staff Grade Psychiatrist, Clinical Team Lead, Social Worker, Mental Health Nurse, Peer Support Worker and administrative support. The team works across the four NELFT boroughs of Barking & Dagenham, Havering, Redbridge and Waltham Forest. The service is operationally based within the Redbridge Directorate of NELFT and the successful candidate will receive clinical supervision from the Redbridge Lead Psychologist. NELFT have a strong commitment to staff development and the post holder would have close association with other Psychological Services that include EMDR Consultants and BABCP accredited supervisors to support the post holders professional development.
