We are excited to offer the opportunity of joining our innovative, trauma led Barnet Adult Psychology service as a Band 7 Clinical/Counselling Psychologist. We are looking to recruit to a full time post (37.5 hours per week).

We serve diverse communities across Barnet providing assessment and treatment to adults with moderate to severe, and highly complex mental health, and who predominantly struggle with complex trauma. We specialise in trauma-based interventions including EMDR and NET, alongside interventions focused on complex emotional needs and wider mental health, including CAT, Schema-Focused, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Systemic Psychotherapy, and a range of CBT and third-wave interventions. Psychological Therapists have access to specialist supervision and training to complement their working, and we are committed to a high standard of CPD.

In your role you will also work into the Barnet Core Community Mental Health Teams and alongside voluntary sector partners.

As part of the North London Mental Health Partnership, our services are based around the premise of not “what is the matter with you" but "what matters to you”. Our interventions are designed to enable our service users to identify their pathway in life and to support them to find a sustainable way to stay on it, supporting a recovered function, working with them and the people in their lives that are important to them.

We are seeking a clinical/counselling psychologist who would benefit in the role from having a background of working with complex trauma and PTSD.

The core features of this role include:

• Providing psychological assessment, formulation, treatment planning, and implementation of psychological interventions for services users.
• Providing specialist psychological input through consultation, supervision and professionals meetings to other professionals contributing directly to the clients’ care plan, and to wider agencies serving our client groups.
• Providing and receiving teaching, training, and supervision.
• Ongoing research and service evaluation.

Please see the attached job description and person specification for detail description of duties.
