An exciting opportunity has arisen to work within the CNWL eating disorders service. We are offering a permanent full time Senior Psychologist post within the Vincent Square Eating Disorder Service.
The successful applicant may have contact with patients or service users. As an NHS Trust we strongly encourage and support vaccination as this remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients and service users when working on our healthcare settings.
This position involves providing specialist therapies to clients across all sectors of care, although the majority of the work will be working with the inpatient staff and patients.
This includes the provision of highly specialist psychological assessment and therapy, whilst also offering advice and consultation on clients’ psychological care to colleagues and to other non-professional carers. The post holder will be responsible for line management and clinical supervision to attached supervisees while working autonomously within professional guidelines and the overall framework of the teams’ policies and procedures. In addition, the post will require skills for audit, policy and service development and research within the area served by the team and service. The post holder will work as part of a multi-disciplinary team providing assessment and treatment to adults with eating disorders.
The post holder will be based at the Vincent Square Eating Disorder Service and will provide clinical and other services across the inpatient, day patient and outpatient programmes. Depending on service need, you may be expected to work flexibly across both sites (Chelsea and Harrow-on-the-Hill). Service provision within this scope may at times involve travelling to different sites within the catchment area.
