ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Clinical Psychologist at a Barchester independent mental health hospital, you'll provide a specialist psychology service to help us deliver the all-round quality care and support our patients deserve. We'll look to you to work with our patients who could be emotionally stressed or living with depression, anxiety, OCD, phobias, psychosis and other conditions. Whatever their needs, you'll make sure every single patient is treated with respect and dignity. We'll rely on you to select, administer and interpret psychometric and neuropsychological tests, as well as liaise with referrers, GPs and other professionals to develop and review care and risk management plans. As a Clinical Psychologist at Barchester, you'll have the chance to create a safe and supportive environment where our patients can get the best possible care.

ABOUT YOU

To join us as a Clinical Psychologist, you'll have an up-to-date knowledge on current developments in professional and clinical practice, making you the go-to person for information about relevant legislation and policies. We'll also look for excellent communication skills, as it's a role that will see you deliver complex and sensitive information and make psychological interventions with carers (or families as appropriate). You'll also keep accurate records and supervise the work of other multi-disciplinary staff when appropriate. A dedicated and insightful professional, you'll always be focused on our patients' wellbeing.
