We are looking for Psychologists trained in NICE-Approved, evidence based treatment interventions. We can consider applicants who are committed to training if not trained already.

As a Clinical Psychologist you will be solely accountable and responsible for the direct delivery of psychological services to adults with Complex Trauma presentations.

You will be responsible for developing highly specialised programmes of care. Judgements need to be made involving highly complex facts or situations, which require the analysis, interpretation and comparison of a range of options
