Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check

As part of our commitment to safeguarding patients and staff, many roles at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) require a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. This is a standard process across the NHS and helps us ensure a safe environment for everyone.

What is a DBS Check?

A DBS check is a background check that reveals any criminal convictions, cautions, reprimands, or warnings. The level of check required depends on the role:

Standard DBS: Checks for spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands, and final warnings.

Enhanced DBS: Includes the above, plus any additional information held by local police thats considered relevant to the role.

Enhanced with Barred Lists: Includes all of the above, plus checks against the childrens and/or adults barred lists.

Most roles involving direct patient contact, working with children or vulnerable adults, or access to sensitive information will require a DBS check. The job advert and recruitment team will let you know if this applies to your role.

The Costs for a DBS

At Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT), roles that require a DBS check are subject to a cost recovery policy. This means that the cost of submitting and processing a DBS application if you are successful and join us, will be deducted from your salary within the first three months of employment. If, however, you withdraw from a conditional offer after the DBS process has begun, you will still be liable for the cost incurred.

For more information about the cost of the various types of DBS, please visit: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/dbs-fees-are-changing-in-december

DBS Update Service

Candidates are also expected to register with the DBS Update Service which must be completed within 30 days of the certificate being issued. This helps streamline future employment checks and supports safer recruitment practices. For more information, please visit the DBS Update Service.

Job summary

Senior Practitioner Psychologist in Staff Wellbeing (1.0WTE, 8a)

The Staff Wellbeing and Support Service is seeking a Senior Practitioner Psychologist to provide compassionate, trauma-informed support to staff within the Health Board. This is an exciting new post, with significant opportunity to develop and deliver valued and inclusive support to staff.

You will be key in supporting our staff to live valued lives both within and outside of work, working in collaboration with people who access our service to formulate complex difficulties and provide tailored brief psychological support. Where required, this support will be trauma-focused, with part of this role offering trauma therapy to staff who have experienced workplace trauma.

We are a small but dedicated team, and we value flexibility, consistency and support for our own wellbeing as well as the Health Board values of compassion, openness and respect. We have good connections with the North Wales Clinical Psychology Programme, and welcome trainees into our service.

If you feel that you would relish the opportunity to make a significant difference to staff within the Health Board, please do get in touch - we'd love to hear from you.

The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.

Please note that this role is a pan-BCU role; you will be required to travel across the BCUHB footprint to work.

Main duties of the job

The successful candidate will undertake a range of assessments with staff and, based on this assessment, will provide intervention or signpost to appropriate services. There will be a significant requirement to promote psychological thinking across the Health Board, particularly with staff groups who may not see the need to engage in initiatives around their own wellbeing. Supervision of others, delivery of training, and service development will also form an integral part of this role.

We are passionate about supporting staff with trauma, and embedding reflective practice into the Health Board. Therefore, the post holder will have opportunities to help us to continue developing these two important areas.

The post holder will also be a member of the BCUHB Psychology & Psychological Services for Physical Health Department, which is a supportive, friendly and growing department of Clinical Psychologists working within physical health services across BCUHB and has strong links with the North Wales Clinical Psychology Programme. Continuing professional development and research is actively supported within the department. This post provides the ideal opportunity to gain experience in applying clinical psychology within a highly specialist setting.
