Oxford Health Trust are excited to offer an excellent opportunity for a Senior Clinical/Counselling Psychologist to join our friendly, skilled, and developing Urgent Care Pathway in Buckinghamshire, working clinically within the Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Team (CRHTT). The successful applicant will be based in Aylesbury but may be requested to support service users alongside the High Wycombe team.

The Senior Clinical/Counselling Psychologist will be expected to provide direct interventions including Assessment and Formulation and Brief Psychological Therapy, and Indirect Interventions supporting the Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Team. There may be scope for the successful candidate to embark upon slightly longer courses of Intervention if that would more effectively prepare service users to access the next stage of their psychological therapy pathway.

The post will require you to work with service users directly face to face and support psychosocial intervention work of colleagues and as the Senior Psychologist you will be supporting service users in a crucial point in their lives. This is a rewarding and creative role, one which has the potential to have a significant positive impact on a person’s life.
