Psychology Graduate Internship inNorthampton inNorthampton PUBLISHED 11 NOV 2024
Stand by, we'll show you...
It is nationally recognised that a significant proportion of psychology graduates want to develop a career in health and care, but can find it hard to find a way in. The intersectional nature of disadvantage and an unpaid volunteer culture has been thought to contribute to disproportionate disadvantage for psychology graduates from ethnic and cultural minorities, graduates who are socio-economically disadvantaged and graduates who have caring responsibilities.
To try and begin addressing these issues, additional funding has been secured by Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust from NHS England to develop paid opportunities for aspiring Clinical Psychologists to gain clinical experience.
We are offering two 3-month opportunities of paid experience working as an assistant psychologist for psychology graduates who are committed to developing a career in the psychological professions within the NHS.
Successful applicants will be line managed and clinically supervised by HCPC registered Practitioner Psychologists. Please note that applications may close before the deadline, subject to volume of applications.
Applicants need to ensure that their supporting statement highlights that they are a graduate from an ethnic or cultural minority, are socio-economically disadvantaged or have caring responsibilities in order to meet the requirements set out by the NHS England scheme.
These posts are suitable for recent psychology graduates from University courses offering Graduate Basis for membership of the British Psychological Society, with limited NHS experience. We would like to especially encourage those who have not had opportunities for voluntary experience due to caring responsibilities, inequality or disadvantage to apply.
Applicants are applying for generic assistant psychologist posts that may be in any one of a number of our services across our adult community mental health services. When applying think about the generic skills and knowledge you have gained from your degree and life experiences rather than any particular service that may offer you a post if successful. Applications are invited from kind, thoughtful candidates with a "can do" attitude to deliver the Trusts Vision and Values and help to improve our service user experience.
We plan for the internships to commence in January 2025.
