We are looking for a Clinical/Counselling psychologist with experience of working with psychosis to act as pathway lead alongside the existing lead for Early Intervention in Psychosis psychology and psychotherapy services. You will be based clinically in Merton Early Intervention service, Wilson Hospital in Mitcham, South West London, providing individual and family interventions to service users. You will offer supervision and leadership to qualified and trainee psychologists, CBT therapists and family intervention therapists across the SWLSTG trust early intervention services covering Wandsworth, Sutton, Merton, Kingston and Richmond and develop innovations and promote access to talking therapies across these services.

We are preparing to implement the trust’s community transformation plans in line with the Community Mental Health Framework, to improve access and provision for clients with severe mental health difficulties. In doing so we will be strengthening relationships with primary care and developing new links with the voluntary sector. The trust also provides regular CPD covering a wide range of clinical topics and opportunities for individual and specialist group supervision to support your development. In particular, our Early Intervention therapy provision has expanded over the last few years, and each team now has a strong team of therapists who can offer a range of therapies including Family Interventions, CBT for psychosis and EMDR.

The successful applicant will be committed to MDT working and to advancing trauma informed care and anti-racist practise across the pathway. You will contribute to and supervise the delivery of high quality evidence-based psychological therapies for people who have experienced a first episode of psychosis and their families. The role is dynamic and will require you to attend multidisciplinary meetings and to offer supervision, consultation, and training to clinicians within the wider MDT team. You will utilise your research skills for audit, policy and service development and research within the area served by the team/service.

There is a significant leadership component to the role and alongside the co-lead you will be overseeing a large team of psychologists, CBT therapists and family intervention therapists based in the different boroughs, contributing to job and service planning, recruitment, supervision and service development.
