Clinical Psychologist

Come and join one of the UK's largest providers of complex care. We proudly employ over 4000+ people - no matter what your experience, we have jobs for everyone.

We are seeking a Clinical Psychologist to join our team on a part-time basis, working across our Northampton sites providing rehabilitation and residential services for up to 37 adults.

Wycliffe House is a male-only service that can support those with associated past or present drug and alcohol addictions. In addition to a diagnosis of a neurological condition and addiction, service users may present with cognitive impairments, communication disorders, and behaviours that challenge.

Lloyd House has 17 bedrooms, four of which form our transitional living unit, which is for those who are ready for more independent living. The service is close to local shops and the park, so residents can benefit from social, occupational, and educational opportunities in an ideal setting for neurorehabilitation.

Christchurch View offers a pathway from post-acute rehabilitation through to specialist community-based transitional rehabilitation. We are committed to helping every person we support feel safe, happy, and empowered, enabling them to live the best life possible.

Abington View is a female-only service providing specialist community-based transitional neurological rehabilitation services for those who are not quite ready for supported living.

At Active Care Group, we are committed to ensuring that every individual we support feels safe, happy, and empowered to live their best life possible. With a collaborative and holistic approach to care, we work effectively in partnership with stakeholders to deliver high-quality integrated health and care services. With over 30 years of specialist knowledge and experience in managing complex conditions, including ventilation and respiratory issues, spinal injuries, brain injuries, epilepsy, neurological conditions, and learning disabilities, we are dedicated to helping individuals progress towards a more independent future.

However, we understand the importance of a positive work-life balance, and therefore, if you require some flexibility to better suit your personal or professional needs, we encourage you to discuss this with us, and we will do our best to accommodate your preferences where possible.
