Band 5 Apprentice CAP, Acute Care Pathway

About the Role

This is a new occupation, developed for implementation in England, introduced as part of a programme of work to provide greater access to psychologically informed mental health services. Clinical Associates in Psychology fill an identified skills gap between assistant psychologist and qualified clinical psychologists.

They are able to practice autonomously with appropriate support, working within their scope of practice, under the supervision of a registered clinical psychologist.

• Provide high quality, evidence-based psychological interventions.
• Use formulations derived from specialist psychological measurement and assessment tools to inform practice.
• Work with populations across the lifespan from different backgrounds, cultures and beliefs, providing a more proscribed range of activities than clinical psychologists.

• Right to work in the UK:
  Applicants must already hold the legal right to work in the UK at the time of application. This position is not eligible for Skilled Worker visa sponsorship.
