West London NHS TrustrmGDopzK
The London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham boasts a rich cultural diversity, and we are committed to making our psychology services accessible and effective for those we serve. Your creativity and flexibility in adapting therapeutic approaches to meet varied needs will be highly valued. Working alongside a small, supportive team, you will have the opportunity to engage in outreach activities and shape the future of our relatively new service. Together, let's enhance the psychological well-being of our patients and empower their loved ones. Join us in creating a nurturing environment where every day brings new opportunities to change lives for the better.
Are you interested in a role where every day is different and where you can use a variety of psychology skills? If so, we are looking for a caring and innovative clinical psychologist to join us in our Specialist Older Adult Mental Health Service (SOAMHS) for people over 70. You will play a key part in enabling the more therapeutic nature of support throughout the service as well as providing and supervising clinical interventions. The teams are small so you will be working with the whole range of mental health problems. You will provide groups and individual therapy for people within the service as well as for their carers/families where indicated alongside other team members.
The London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham is culturally highly diverse and there is a real commitment to meet the needs of the communities we serve. You will therefore be involved in ensuring psychology provision is appropriate and accessible for this diverse community and outreach activities are encouraged.
The service supports people with a wide range of difficulties and the whole service works within a Trauma Informed model. Although the psychology team works with psychological therapies with a proven evidence base, we also understand that to truly meet client needs, flexibility of approach is essential. As the service is relatively new, it is likely that it will change in response to the needs that are identified within the community, so you will need to be flexible in your thinking and approach to patient care. Our service users come from a wide variety of cultures and experiences, so there is a need to adapt any therapy to the needs of the client and creativity is therefore valued. There is also an emphasis on working with staff, through supervision, consultation, training and joint working to increase psychological thinking within the team and to maximize the potential for improving the psychological well-being of all patients and carers.
