Stand by, we'll show you...
This development post is for a newly qualified Clinical Psychologist with interest in specialist learning disability services, working initially at band 7, working towards the competencies of 8a. Applications accepted from people without specific LD experience, but a passion to learn and work in LD is essential.
You may be an experienced band 7 wishing to progress to 8a without requiring the development process. Also suitable for 8a psychologists wanting to move from current post and develop skills in a CLDT. This multi-disciplinary, community service serves the Dudley area.
The Dudley CLDT is supportive, forward-thinking and committed to improving patient care. It serves people with a learning disability experiencing significant mental health needs and/or displaying significant behavioural distress. It is part of a stepped care whole-pathway model linking with the IST, FCT, A&T Inpatient services & local Commissioning services.
Several 8a or 7-8a development posts are available for the appropriate candidates across the LD Division in BCHFT. 2 posts will be based in Wolverhampton and 1 based in Dudley. Applicants for this post who are selected for interview will also be given the option to be considered for either of the Wolverhampton posts too.
Wherever you choose to be based, there are likely to be opportunities to work across the division. You may on the rare occasion be asked to support one of those services should the need arise.
The team provides a full range of assessments, interventions, support, training and advice to individuals themselves, their families and paid carers and the network of multi-agency stakeholders who are involved in the care and support of people experiencing complex behavioural and/or emotional distress.
