Job overview
AWP Specialised Services have embarked on an exciting journey to provide the first NHS Gambling Service for the South West of England. This new remote team provides online treatment to people who want help with their gambling as well as their families and significant others.
We have a new position available for a Qualified Clinical Associate Psychologist, to deliver online specialist psychological interventions to people seeking help for gambling. The role will involve assessment, formulation and treatment, drawing on CBT, Motivational Interviewing and Family Interventions, both in group and individual formats. You will be part of our MDT, participating in relevant meetings and processes, and working in a trauma informed way.
As Gambling services are a new development for the NHS we will provide support and training to help you in your role. There will also be opportunities to get involved in helping the service evolve and develop. We are a remote working service, but the role will involve some face to face appointments and regular in-person team meetings.
