We are looking to recruit an Assistant Psychologist to the Mental Health Integrated Network Team (MINT) in South Glos. As part of the Community Mental Health Framework, we are delivering an exciting transformation programme to support people with mental health needs to get the help they need efficiently, and close to home. The team aims to meet the needs of service users that fall through the gap between primary and secondary care services.,

The post holder will support the running of groups and individual psychological interventions for people presenting with complex PTSD, and other mental health distress. The role will also include carrying out audits and participating in service evaluations to support service developments. You will be supervised by the team clinical psychologist and work alongside other colleagues to deliver culturally appropriate sensitive and person-centred care.

You will receive regular clinical supervision and training to support your ability to conduct the role effectively.

The post holder would be expected to work independently according to a plan agreed with the professionally registered clinical and operational lead for the area/service and within the overall framework of the team's policies and procedures.

For professionally unregistered staff all work is done under the supervision of professionally registered clinicians. Clinical supervision and line management are in play to support all clinical staff.

We aim to provide High Quality, Compassionate Care everywhere, every day. This means our services will be safe, clinically effective and provide a positive all round experience for our patients, families and carers.

Key to this is providing a supportive and safe environment for our 4,000 staff where we all feel welcome and able to do the best we can for those we support. Our staff and teams work incredibly hard delivering services across more than 90 locations, covering 2,200miles, to more than 1.8million people.
