Description

Are you interested in being a key player in our exciting initiative to support the whole organisation to lift its ability to respond effectively to underlying trauma and other psychological issues within our drug and alcohol services?

At WithYou, we use our expertise to deliver support and raise awareness around drugs, alcohol and mental health, to enable people to have greater choice about their lives, free of problematic substance use.

We are currently recruiting for a qualified HCPC registered Lead Practitioner Psychologist, to join us in providing high quality recovery care to a diverse client group.

If you are looking to join a forward thinking, values-driven charity that treats our people with warmth, compassion and respect, we’d love to hear from you.

Your role is to grow and support the team’s ability to respond effectively to individuals' past trauma, to also help build motivation and develop resources to assist people to change the way they think, feel and behave.

As part of your role, you will hold a specialist caseload of clients with co-existing substance use and mental health needs.

We are looking for a Lead Practitioner Psychologist with strong CBT and motivational interviewing practice, who not only possess expertise in their work within drug and alcohol services, but have a passion for developing skills and supporting and supervising others in the delivery of psychologically informed work.

You will be a compassionate and empathetic individual, with the ability to connect quickly with the people we support.

You will receive regular clinical supervision and professional support from a more senior Practitioner Psychologist in substance use and will be in a supportive environment, where you will be encouraged to develop your clinical skills as well as providing an opportunity to develop leadership skills, making a difference beyond your own individual practice.

If you are interested in the system of recovery we provide and can help us improve the quality and effectiveness of the work we do, we welcome the opportunity to offer you a role that works alongside our expert practitioners in a great environment.
