Job description

We have a vacancy for a Psychology Assistant who has successfully completed the Adult Enhanced Psychological Practitioner Programme to join our well-established Psychology Guided-Self Help Service. This Fife-wide service is for people with mild to moderate emotional needs / common mental health problems, such as anxiety and depression, who do not require specialist psychological therapy.

The post involves providing evidence-based Enhanced Psychological Interventions, in primary care, for people presenting with common mental health problems, using a range of resources, such as self-help materials, cCBT or apps. Following referral from a health professional or 3rd sector organisation, or self-referral, we aim to see people as early as possible, providing early intervention or signposting to other community-based resources or agencies that are likely to help their recovery. The post is an important link between these community organisations, Psychology, general practice and the wider Health & Social Care Partnership.

You will participate in ongoing audit and evaluation of the service. You will work with qualified clinicians to support the delivery of group psychoeducational interventions. You will receive weekly case management supervision and fortnightly clinical skills supervision, as well as regular management supervision.

This is an opportunity to join a large area-wide Psychology Service that includes all the major clinical specialties. The Service is friendly, research-active and maintains a vigorous CPD programme. It has well-established links with the Universities of Edinburgh, Stirling and Dundee and provides placements for DClinPsy trainees and trainees doing a range of clinically-based Masters programmes.

Applications on a secondment basis will be considered providing you have prior agreement from your current line manager.

For informal enquiries, please contact Dr Angela Morrison-Brown, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, at [email protected] or telephone number 01383 565256.

A requirement of this post is to become a member of the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme Prior to appointment.
