Luton
Full time hours
Attractive rates
Responsibilities:
We are seeking a highly creative psychologist with a range of clinical and leadership experience to join our Psychiatric Liaison Service in Luton.
The post holder will contribute a psychological perspective to multidisciplinary service development and delivery within the general acute hospital and A&E settings. This will include reviewing pathways to meet the needs of our service users, enabling the team to meet the standards for a Core 24 service. You will be part of the PLS Leadership team.
Clinical work focuses both on complex health presentations from the general acute hospital as well as service users with severe mental health difficulties and high risk presenting in crisis to A&E.
Clinical work on the hospital side is varied, including service users with eating disorders, FND, MUS, depression and anxiety, as well as those who are experiencing long hospital stays in the face of multiple physical and mental health issues.
There are opportunities to develop joint work with health disciplines across the hospital, and to devise training programmes for the general wards.
On the A&E side, we offer a ‘follow-up psychology clinic’ for those who have presented with an attempt on their life and need brief psychological support to stabilise and prevent future suicide.
The post holder would join regular countywide Psychology Clinical Governance and peer-led CPD meetings.
