Clinical/ Counselling Psychologist - Early Intervention for Psychosis in London inLondon PUBLISHED SUN 11 MAY 2025 Jump to job information section

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 7 Clinical or Counselling Psychologist to join the OASIS team in Lambeth. OASIS is a team for young people who meet criteria as being "at risk" of developing psychosis, and as such sits within Early Intervention for Psychosis services. The role represents an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to build their skills in working with unusual experiences, and well as developing abilities relating to supervision, leadership and service development.

As a service, we are committed to increasing the accessibility and acceptability of care, and in ensuring that services are delivered equitably. Part of our remit relates to service promotion - intended to promote awareness of psychosis risk, and to disseminate de-stigmatising, normalising information about unusual experiences and psychosis, both within statutory services and local communities. The post-holder would have opportunities to be meaningfully involved in this co-produced, community focused work.

Clinical presentations seen within OASIS are frequently very varied, meaning significant opportunities for the development of clinical skills, particularly around assessment and formulation. The post-holder would be supported in accessing relevant training to support the development of skills to work effectively with our clients.

• Delivery of individual and family interventions for at-risk mental state, primarily within the framework of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Psychosis (CBTp).
• Assessment of clients who have been referred to OASIS (using CAARMS assessment, following appropriate training).
• Supporting MDT staff in psychological formulation and delivery of "low intensity" interventions. Contributing to ensuring that the team's work as a whole is psychologically informed where possible.
• Supervision of trainees and students working with the team.
• Contributing to the team's outreach and service promotion activities, within statutory services and local communities. These initiatives are both in-person and online (e.g. through our website and Instagram).
