Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust is an innovative and successful mental health and learning disability Trust providing services within the South East London Boroughs of Greenwich, Bexley and Bromley.
Oxleas has a large, well-established and supportive psychology department which is part of the Psychological Therapies Directorate within the Trust. This provides strong leadership and professional management and supports staff by prioritising supervision and continuing professional development. The department contains clinical psychologists with extensive training and experience in cognitive, psycho-dynamic and systemic approaches. Service related research is encouraged and supported by providing protected time for these activities. There are strong links with the South Thames (Salomons) Clinical Psychology Training Scheme. There are good working relationships with both managers and other senior clinicians and psychological therapy is well represented at senior managerial and clinical levels. The Head of Psychology is also the Director of Psychological Therapies and a member of the executive team of the Trust. The input from psychologists is valued within the Trust and we undertake important roles, not only in clinical work, but also management, service development and clinical governance.
This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and experienced Clinical Psychologist to play an important role in the expanding Early Intervention Team in the London Borough of Greenwich. You will need to possess proven skills in CBT for Psychosis and Family Interventions work and be willing to take part in further training as appropriate. You will be encouraged to consolidate and further develop your therapeutic skills in a friendly and supportive multi-professional and multi-agency context. There are good working relationships with EIP team staff and there is a focus on biopsychological models. Skilled supervision is provided, with opportunities for training and service-related research.
