Senior Clinical / Counselling Psychologist

The post sits within the Coventry Crisis Resolution Home Treatment Team (CRHTT). This is an exciting opportunity to work in a supportive and dynamic multidisciplinary team, with people who are experiencing a period of crisis in their lives. This service offers a creative and flexible way for a psychologist to work, with lots of opportunity for direct and indirect client contact, and clinical leadership. A degree of autonomy is expected but the post exists within a very supportive network of psychologists, who you would share office space with. The CRHTT value psychological ways of understanding and working with service users and you will be able to work closely with MDT colleagues. The services cover a diverse community and we hope to reflect that in our workforce, therefore we particularly welcome applications from people from minority ethnic backgrounds., You would be working within a multidisciplinary team, with clients with a wide range of presenting difficulties, including complex trauma, co-morbidity and requiring comprehensive safety planning. The focus of the team is to prevent admission to hospital and facilitate timely discharge from hospital, using a trauma-informed approach. Your role includes offering face to face assessments, formulations, and brief interventions (focusing on stabilisation and helping the individual make sense of their experience), and indirect clinical work with the MDT (e.g. consultation, team formulation, helping with care planning, safe discharge planning). There is an experienced Assistant Psychologists in post who can support your work.
