NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.

NHS Highland is pleased to invite applicants interested in working with our Psychological Therapies Team in Community Adult Mental Health. Applications are welcome from those who want to work flexibly, with a hybrid model of remote and on‑site working requirements. You would be joining a friendly team of Clinical/Counselling Psychologists, CBT Therapists, Clinical Associates in Applied Psychology and trainees. You would sit within the Psychology team, and provide psychological therapy to patients referred via the local CMHTs across NHS Highland. Psychological interventions would be delivered individually and in groups, in‑person and online.

• Employ a range of therapeutic orientations, including EMDR, ACT, CFT, CBT, Schema Therapy and CPT.
• Take part in specialist supervision groups, monthly departmental CPD meetings and peer supervision.
• Work under clinical supervision provided by more senior clinical staff within the department.

The Psychology Service has strong working links with the West of Scotland Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and Masters training programmes; including opportunities for teaching, supervision of trainees, and research.

Our team is based at New Craigs Hospital, in the growing city of Inverness, which offers restaurants, bars, music venues, theatres, cinema, history, culture and sports. The city provides a high quality of life with excellent transport links, including regular air services to hubs such as London and Amsterdam. The Highlands of Scotland is the largest and most sparsely populated health board in Scotland covering 41% of the country’s landmass. Renowned for its beauty, its varied scenery ranges across mountains, beaches, lochs, castles and glens. With excellent opportunities for an outdoor lifestyle, facilities include sailing, mountain biking, snow sports, hiking and open water swimming. Many of the team have moved to the Highlands for the fantastic lifestyle it can provide and we are always welcoming and inclusive to those who have relocated. The Psychology Service within NHS Highland is a supportive, dynamic and developing department, providing services across the region. The nature of the health board area requires us to be innovative and continually adapting to change. Due to the current challenges faced by the NHS we are embracing change and improvement to our service. This is a great opportunity to contribute to the development of psychological services and the wider Adult Mental Health Service. Informal enquiries and visits are welcomed.
