Job description

You will be contributing to the delivery of an intensive MBT programme, working with an established team of clinical psychologists and nursing colleagues, to deliver MBT experiential groups as well as individual therapy. The successful candidate will be offered accredited training and supervision.

In this role you will be working in multi‑disciplinary teams providing consultation to mental health staff; assessment, formulation and intervention for people accessing the service; supervision for staff including assistant psychologists and clinical psychology trainees; staff training and evaluation of the service and contributing to the development of the CMHT.

You will be delivering the MBT provision for approximately 60% of your week and functioning as an active and senior member of both teams. You will be expected to support the Psychology Lead and represent the profession by being actively involved in wider service development issues in the delivery of psychological care across the division.

We are looking for someone with experience in delivering group and individual psychological therapies to adults with complex and severe mental health problems. You will need to have a particular interest in working with complex trauma and clients that present primarily with Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder and be committed to delivering evidence‑based interventions for this client group. We are looking for motivated and experienced psychologists to join our team and help shape and improve the delivery of contemporary community mental health support and treatment.

The adult psychology speciality comprises 32 applied psychologists, psychotherapists, assistants and trainees. We are a cohesive and enthusiastic group, enjoying strong links with the local clinical psychology doctorate course. Psychologists are encouraged to develop links with colleagues throughout the region and stay professionally connected through attendance at CPD events.

We are an award‑winning and CQC‑rated good health and social care Trust delivering integrated services across Hull, East and North Yorkshire. We are a forward‑thinking and dynamic Trust with a real commitment to staff development. We value our colleagues and invest in them to ensure they have the right skills to deliver outstanding care.
