Description
Service Lead Consultant Psychologist Argyll and Bute Health and Social Care Partnership
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an 8C Service Lead Consultant Clinical/Counselling Psychologist within Community Mental Health Services in Argyll and Bute. As the Adult Mental Health Psychological Therapies Service Lead, you will lead on the strategic service development and management and provision of expert, comprehensive, specialist psychological services to adults with severe and enduring mental health conditions and psychological problems. You will provide advice and assistance to colleagues/organisations throughout Argyll and Bute HSCP involved in the delivery of health care to this population.
You will be part of, and supported by the NHS Highland Psychology Service, including the Director of Psychology, and will develop close working relationships with services both in Argyll and Bute and wider NHS Highland. You will have a key role in delivering and growing the service, putting patients and their families at the heart of service delivery. Within your role you will work autonomously within professional guidelines and the overall framework of local and Board policies and procedures.
The Psychology Service within NHS Highland is a supportive, dynamic and developing department, providing services across the region. The nature of the health board area requires us to be innovative and continually adapting to change. Supportive and robust professional guidance, clinical supervision, and line management are provided. There are excellent opportunities for leadership development, Continuing Professional Development (CPD), research, teaching, supervision, and training other professionals.
The service operates a hybrid service model and the post can involve remote working with regular travel to clinics and meetings as required to meet the needs of the service. The onsite base is negotiable within Argyll and Bute. Applications are welcome from those wishing to work flexibly and part-time or job share may be considered.
The Highlands of Scotland is the largest and most sparsely populated health board in Scotland covering 41% of the country’s landmass. The scenery and quality of living is outstanding. Renowned for its beauty, its varied scenery ranges across mountains, beaches, lochs, castles, and glens. With excellent opportunities for an outdoor lifestyle, facilities include sailing, mountain biking, snow sports, hiking and open water swimming. Candidates must have a Post Graduate Doctoral level (or equivalent) degree in Clinical Psychology and be registered with the HCPC.
