Posted 27 day(s) ago
Reference: 2325516
Job summary
This is a great opportunity to work within our inpatient mental health psychology service alongside psychologists, psychiatrists, resident doctors, OTs, nurses, social workers and physiotherapists.
Our innovative Adult Mental Health acute wards comprise two Admission & Treatment wards and a Recovery ward. Our inpatient pathways are based on a model that admissions should be Necessary, Values Based and Appropriate, and aim to work closely with the community services to facilitate discharge.
The post-holder will provide support to adults with a mental health diagnosis. Therapy will be provided as part of the MDT approach, ensuring a personalised, client-centred focus on individual goals and functional outcomes. There will also be opportunities to work indirectly supporting the wider team to think and work psychologically.
The post-holder will deliver different forms of psychological interventions in either an individual or group setting. The post-holder will be based at Fulbourn Hospital in Cambridge.
Main duties of the job
Working under the supervision of a Clinical Psychologist, you will support the delivery of psychological services across acute adult inpatient wards. Responsibilities include contributing to psychological assessments, supporting formulation work, facilitating psychoeducational and psychologically informed groups, and delivering brief evidence-based interventions such as Behavioural Activation, Anxiety Management and Distress Tolerance.
You will work closely with members of the multidisciplinary team to support patient recovery, assist with cognitive screening assessments, maintain psychology referral and outcome databases, monitor patient progress and contribute to psychologically informed care planning. The role requires excellent communication, organisational and interpersonal skills, alongside the ability to engage sensitively with individuals experiencing significant mental health difficulties.
We are seeking a compassionate, resilient and proactive individual with a Psychology degree conferring Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) with the British Psychological Society, a strong interest in adult mental health, and a commitment to developing clinical skills within a supportive inpatient psychology service. Experience of working in mental health or healthcare settings, facilitating groups and applying psychological theory to practice would be advantageous.
About us
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust is a health and social care organisation dedicated to providing high quality care with compassion to improve the health and wellbeing of the people we care for, as well as supporting and empowering them to lead fulfilling lives.
Our clinical teams deliver a wide range of NHS services across inpatient, primary care and community settings, including children's, adult and older people's mental health, forensic and specialist mental health, learning disabilities, primary care and liaison psychiatry, substance misuse, social care, and research and development.
To achieve our goals, we recruit high calibre candidates who share our vision and values. As an equal opportunities' employer, we welcome applications from all sections of the community, particularly under represented groups including people with long term conditions and members of our ethnic minority and LGBTQ+ communities.
All appointments for new employees to CPFT are subject to the successful completion of a probationary period.
Please note we reserve the right to close adverts early should we receive sufficient applications.

The in-reach health team provides a service between 09.00 and 21.30 and the role involves an early and late shift pattern.
Main duties of the job
To plan and provide programmes of therapeutic activities tailored to the patient group within the framework laid down by the Occupational Therapist.
To implement and evaluate delegated occupational therapy interventions for patients in activities relating to their treatment programme.
To assist occupational therapists with the delivery of care and demonstrate to support staff regarding occupational therapy interventions.
To carry out administrative duties within the occupational therapy department including taking full responsibility for designated tasks.
To enhance their own clinical and organisational skills to meet the needs of service users and the organisation.
About us
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust is a health and social care organisation dedicated to providing high quality care with compassion to improve the health and wellbeing of the people we care for, as well as supporting and empowering them to lead fulfilling lives.
Our clinical teams deliver a wide range of NHS services across inpatient, primary care and community settings, including children's, adult and older people's mental health, forensic and specialist mental health, learning disabilities, primary care and liaison psychiatry, substance misuse, social care, and research and development.
To achieve our goals, we recruit high calibre candidates who share our vision and values. As an equal opportunities' employer, we welcome applications from all sections of the community, particularly under represented groups including people with long term conditions and members of our ethnic minority and LGBTQ+ communities.
All appointments are subject to the successful completion of a probationary period.
Please note we reserve the right to close adverts early should we receive sufficient applications.
