As an active member of the therapies team, you will contribute to service development, quality improvement initiatives, clinical governance activities, audits, and co-production projects. You will have opportunities to apply research to practice, contribute to the ongoing development of psychology services, and support innovative approaches that enhance patient care and outcomes.

To be successful for this role, you will need:

• Doctoral Degree in Clinical/Counselling/Forensic Psychology
• Registered with the Health and Care Professions Council.
• Knowledge of current national policies, legislation and professional standards in practice.
• Well developed skills in the ability to communicate effectively, orally and in writing, complex, highly technical and/or clinically sensitive information to patients, their families, carers and other professional colleagues both within and outside Elysium.
• Works effectively within the multi-disciplinary team.
• Evidence of personal resilience and aptitude for dealing with potentially distressing and highly emotive clinical work.
• Ability to work well under pressure and or in times of crisis.
