Assistant Psychologist TRaC

Assistant Psychologist for TRaC (Trust, Relate and Connect Pilot/Trauma Risk and Crisis)

This is an exciting and novel opportunity to join with a Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Consultant Social Worker and Consultant Psychiatrist to form part of a small team developing an offer for families and professionals within Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

The Provider Collaborative, hosted by Sussex Partnership Foundation Trust have funded a pilot project for 12 months to design and implement a clinical offer that can support families using multiple services within the Hampshire footprint. Families who will use the service will be those where traditional support has not been helpful and where professionals continue to be concerned about good outcomes for them.

The project will aim to use a clinical model that can help families and professionals to have a shared a language across services to support joint up planning and care. It will also aim to support families to navigate services and stay working alongside families as they may move across teams and services. The clinical offer will include two posts that will work directly with families under the supervision of a Consultant MDT.

Note: Early application is encouraged as the vacancy may close early if a high volume of applications is received., The Postholder will ideally have had experience of working as an Assistant Psychologist but will have had experience of working with families within a health or social care setting.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust provides joined-up mental and physical healthcare for around two million people across our communities. With over 13,000 staff working in the community and local hospitals, we deliver care at every stage of life, helping people live their best and healthiest lives.

Our mental health services include community-based support and early intervention in psychosis (EIP) for both adults and young people, alongside a network of specialist inpatient wards covering forensic, learning disability, eating disorder and older person's care.

We deliver extensive physical health services too, from urgent community response teams helping frail and older patients remain safely at home, to hospitals at home teams providing acute-level care in familiar surroundings. Our neurological services offer rehabilitation and treatment for conditions including Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease, Motor Neurone Disease, Head Injury, Cerebral Palsy and Stroke. Across Hampshire, our community hospitals provide inpatient rehabilitation as a step down from acute care, and our dedicated teams also staff Treetops Sexual Assault Referral Centre in Portsmouth, offering expert, compassionate support.

Everything we do is underpinned by our CARE values of compassion, accountability, respect and excellence
