The Clinical Psychologist will provide clinical guidance and training for the teams of Assistant Psychologists and Peer Support Workers, to ensure high quality interventions are provided.

You will provide regular clinical supervision that encourages reflective practice and will inspire your team members in an inclusive manner.

You will be required to take a leading role in monitoring and evaluating the service by initiating, designing and undertaking/supervising service-related research and evaluation projects.

The Ideal Candidate
