Clinical Psychologist​/Counselling Psychologist

We are looking for a compassionate trauma-informed psychologist who is interested in working within the area of acute mental healthcare. Our service at Parklands Hospital includes male and female wards, and a PICU. Your role will focus on clients referred to our Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Teams (based primarily in Basingstoke, as well as one base in Winchester), supervised by a CAT-trained consultant clinical psychologist.

You will join a sizeable diverse team of warm, supportive, and creative psychologists and assistant psychologists, who are committed to providing inclusive person-centred care, and a psychologically-minded multidisciplinary team committed to embedding a recovery culture. We work transdiagnostically with a range of presentations, including psychosis and trauma, and relational difficulties. You will provide psychological assessment and therapy individually and support group programmes, as well as offering advice, consultation and training to staff in the team.

Our psychological provision includes offering the Comprehend, Cope & Connect (CCC) approach, alongside various evidence-based therapeutic approaches (e.g. CBT, DBT, ACT, CFT and CAT).

We encourage applicants seeking a preceptorship from Band 7 to 8a. We welcome applications from unqualified practitioners nearing completing their training.
