Job Advert
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.
The shift pattern is Mon - Fri
NHS Scotland is reducing their full time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Recruiting Board.
The post holder will support and enhance the psychological care of clients within the service by providing psychological intervention and assessment under the supervision of a qualified clinical psychologist. In addition, they will work independently according to an agreed plan and within the overall framework of the service policies and procedures. The post holder will also be involved in preparing material for therapy sessions, delivering a range of psychological therapies, attending case conferences and multi-disciplinary meetings and liaising with other professionals. Other responsibilities may involve psychometric assessment, audits, service evaluation, and assisting the work of clinical psychologists and other professionals working in the service. Positive Behavioural Support is the primary model used in the inpatient service therefore prior experience in using this model with individuals who have a learning disability would be an advantage. Prior experience of clinical risk assessment would also be of benefit.
