Associate Psychologists

The Purple House Clinic currently has branches based in Birmingham, Glasgow, Leicester, Lincoln and Rugby; we have further branches opening early in 2024. At the Purple House Clinic, we specialise in providing mental health and neurodiversity services in the private sector, working in partnership with a range of organisations as well as accepting referrals directly from families. The Purple House Clinic network has developed a strong reputation for delivering high-quality services, earning the trust and respect of both clients and the large team of professionals that work with us.

Due to increasing demand for our services, we are looking for Associate Psychologists to join our MDT on a self-employed (Associate) basis. This is a great opportunity for experienced Psychologists wishing to work flexibly within the private sector, supported by an established and successful multi-disciplinary practice.

Your Role

As an associate psychologist you would be providing mental health or neurodiversity services, according to your area of specialism, for example: psychological therapy, ASD assessments, ADHD assessments or Educational Psychology assessments.

To apply, you need to be a qualified, HCPC Registered, Practitioner Psychologist with a minimum of 2 years post-qualification experience (or full-time equivalent).

You will have excellent assessment and therapeutic skills and the ability to work compassionately and empathically with our clients. Post-qualification training in individual therapies (e.g. CBT, EMDR) or in specialist assessments (e.g. ADIR, ADOS) is desirable. 

We are interested in hearing from psychologists who have experience working with either adults or children, or both.

Benefits

Successful candidates will be self-employed and join our Associate Partnership Scheme, benefiting from:

• A ready-made referral stream, matched to your interests/skills, generated by our website and extensive marketing strategies
