Psychological Therapist (Perinatal) London, England
Job description
We are seeking two enthusiastic psychological therapists with a passion for perinatal care and infant mental health to join our specialist community perinatal mental health service and support the provision of psychological therapies.
We welcome applications from newly qualified practitioner psychologists or CBT therapists or those approaching qualification / accreditation.
The post holder will have a proven interest in perinatal mental health - direct experience of working within a specialist perinatal setting is desirable but not essential. Appropriate specialist clinical and professional supervision and opportunities for training and development will be made available.
They will join an experienced and friendly team of psychological therapists who provide a range of highly specialist psychological interventions for service users under the care of the Perinatal Mental Health Team. A key aspect of this role is to provide highly specialist psychological care to parents (and their infants) experiencing moderate to severe mental health difficulties.
Alongside their psychology and psychotherapy colleagues they will also work to enhance the work of the MDT by embedding a wider framework of psychologically informed care that can recognise and respond to psychological needs of both parents and infants arising within a perinatal context in a timely and effective manner.
