Would you like to use your CBT or clinical/counselling psychology skills to provide tailored psychological therapies to help improve the lives and wellbeing of survivors of torture and organised violence?
We have an exciting opportunity for both a Clinical/Counselling Psychologist and a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist to join our innovative and friendly multidisciplinary team. Our team of experienced clinicians offer a range of specialist therapy interventions, to survivors of torture and organised violence, on an individual and group therapy basis. The interventions equip survivors with the resolve to deal with the physical and psychological impacts of their experiences. Throughout the rehabilitative journey, we closely monitor the impact of the interventions as it relates to each survivor using specifically designed Outcome Tools, which in turn assist in ensuring that the survivors ultimately receive the best treatment possible.
Post 1: Clinical/Counselling Psychologist with TCB (Adults)
To be successful in this role you must be qualified in Clinical or Counselling Psychology, (you will be trained to doctorate level or an equivalent vocational level 7). If you are nearing the completion of your training in either discipline we would still love to hear from you. You must have knowledge of at least one evidence based approach to trauma therapy including trauma focused CBT, NET and EMDR, sufficient to be able to deploy this model clinically and determine appropriate intervention pathways. It is also essential that you are registered to practice as a psychologist with HCPC.
The role involves Training and Capacity Building, so you will contribute to the development and delivery of internal and external training, and engage in collaborative projects with external professionals who work with survivors of torture and organised violence. The role also includes offering supervision to trainees.
