A one year fixed-term vacancy has arisen in our Department for a clinical psychologist to work within the Adult Mental Health (AMH) and Lifespan Intellectual Disability Psychology Service in a split post.

AMH Psychology Service – the post-holder will offer adults (18+) who are referred to the service high quality psychological assessments, formulations, and deliver responsive psychological interventions at individual and systemic levels.

ID Psychology Service - the post holder will support the assessment and treatment of children, young people and adults with complex mental health concerns and behaviour of concern, who have an intellectual disability. This will be alongside multi-disciplinary clinicians, working closely with health, social care, education and the Third Sector.

Applications are invited from an enthusiastic and energetic individual who wants to play key roles in offering evidence-based psychological interventions to these populations. The role will involve therapy provision, assessment, training, consultation and service development and planning for these client groups.

The Department, which now has a complement of around 90 staff, has psychologists and psychological therapists in all major specialties and is a friendly, supportive and lively place of work. We currently have strong links with Edinburgh and Stirling/Dundee Universities and take trainees from the Edinburgh Doctorate course and from the MSc course in Stirling/Dundee. We also provide placements and supervision for trainee CBT and other psychological therapists. The post has dedicated CPD and supervision time.
