Practitioner Psychologist

37 Days Old

Job Introduction At Turning Point, we are recognised leaders in helping people recover from addiction and regain control of their lives. By providing the right support at the right time, and making sure that people can find all the help they need through a single point of contact, we have grown into one of the largest providers of substance use services in England and Wales. Right now, we are looking for a talented Practitioner Psychologist or Psychotherapist to ensure the effective management, development, and delivery of all psycho-social interventions within newly formed team based within our substance use services in Grimsby.
North East Lincolnshire Recovery Partnership (NELRP) is a free and confidential service for Adults and Young People in North East Lincolnshire who would like support with their drug and alcohol use.
A joined-up service, with partners working closely together so that the people we support don’t have to navigate their way between different parts of the system on their own.
Main Responsibilities
You will offer clinical guidance, training and leadership to a team that delivers psycho-social interventions to both individuals and groups. You will use your expertise to build on a range of innovative approaches with people who use substances and experience mental health difficulties. In addition to being responsible for the systematic governance of these and other services, you will offer practical advice on trauma-informed evidence-based psycho-social interventions to colleagues as well as local agencies and organisations. Inspiring, developing and coordinating everyone on your team will of course, be a vital part of your role. We will also expect you to have a small caseload of service users with complex needs, providing specialist psychological assessments and therapies.
Beyond the operational level, you will contribute to the strategic direction and development of the service as a whole. This will include building strong professional links with other statutory and voluntary service providers and using your expertise to put relevant support and education structures in place. You will also explore ways to continuously improve our services and integrate wider issues - housing, employment and finances, for example – into the overall treatment process. You will be invited to work with our national team of Clinical, Counselling, Forensic Psychologists and Psychotherapist, to develop psychological and psycho-social approaches used across services and to pursue a therapeutic specialism that fits with service needs.
The Ideal candidate
You will hold a doctorate and have current registration through the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) as a Clinical, Counselling or Forensic Psychologist, or be registered with the UKCP, BPC, or BACP as a Psychotherapist.
Your experience of leading and supervising clinical staff will ideally be supported by experience of working with substance misuse Service Users. Formal training in supervision, whilst not essential, would be desirable. Excellent communication skills, adaptability and commitment to the Recovery Agenda, will all contribute to you becoming a vital member of our clinical leadership team.
About Us
As a leading health and social care provider with more than 300 locations across England, we take real pride in the services we offer.
We run all of our services on a not-for-profit basis; instead, we invest every penny back into our services and people. We never stop believing in change for the better, and we work constantly to improve the lives of the people we support.

26 days’ paid holiday a year + Bank Holidays, increasing with each year of service up to 28 days + Bank Holidays. Plus the option to buy additional holidays and spread the cost.
