Vacancy at North London NHS Foundation Trust
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and dedicated Clinical or Counselling Psychologist to join the Islington Resettlement Scheme Wellbeing Project. The purpose of the project is to provide an outreach and screening service for refugee families resettled in the London Borough of Islington. We offer holistic assessments and treatment of complex post‑traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and common trauma‑related mental health difficulties, as well as a programme of workshops, consultation and liaison with caseworkers and multidisciplinary mental health staff, teaching, and training. The project sits within the established Traumatic Stress Clinic.
The role of the clinical psychologist includes psychological assessment and providing specialist psychological interventions, including trauma‑focused therapy. Therapy will be primarily carried out at St Pancras Hospital, but travel may also be required to conduct home visits or deliver workshops at other sites in Islington.
We are keen to recruit an enthusiastic and committed individual who shares our team’s passion for human rights and social justice. We offer excellent development opportunities including high‑quality supervision, CPD, and close working with other specialist refugee trauma services across London. We also support the development of leadership skills and aim to nurture staff and support them to become confident supervisors, devise and implement training, and conduct research. If you would like to make a positive difference to the lives of refugee clients, we would love to hear from you.
We will consider applications from newly qualified psychologists with appropriate skills and experience in refugee mental health. In the event of a successful candidate being pre‑HCPC registered the post will be re‑banded to Band 6 and made fixed term until such a time as the post‑holder achieves registered status in order for the post to become Band 7 substantive. The duties therefore would be subject to appropriate clinical supervision from a HCPC registered psychologist in the team.
In order to meet the needs of the Trust you may be required from time to time to work at different locations to your normal place of work. This may mean that you are required to work at any location that falls under Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey or Islington. The Trust reserves the right to require staff to work at such other places or locations as it considers reasonable and necessary on a temporary or permanent basis.
