This is an exciting opportunity funded by the NHS England programme for paid opportunities for aspiring clinical psychologists to gain clinical experience. We have funding for one full-time post for six months and would welcome sharing this between two or more candidates.
Everton in the Community is one of the UK's top sporting charities, offering more than 60 programmes covering a range of social issues including health, employability, anti-social behaviour, crime, education, dementia, poverty, youth engagement, youth justice and disability.
In 2023, a purpose-built mental health and wellbeing hub, The People’s Place was established as part of the charity’s work. Since then, for nine months of the year, two trainee clinical psychologists from Lancaster University have been based there. Their work has involved working with individual service users, running groups, developing materials and bringing a psychological perspective to the broader work of the organisation.
The psychologist funded by this programme will work alongside the trainees, helping to run groups, to support other programmes by bringing a psychological perspective and to develop materials for patients, and contributing to service evaluation and audit.
Flexible working hours will be offered to accommodate caring responsibilities and, because the People’s Place is on one site, access to a car is not required.
Undertakes clinically supervised psychological assessment and intervention for adult service users at the People’s Place, involving their families, carers, staff and volunteers as appropriate.
Under supervision, plans, organises and delivers teaching and training on a variety of psychoeducational topics.
Undertakes relevant research and audit under supervision of more experienced psychologists
Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was created on 1 October 2019 following the merger of two adult acute Trusts, Aintree University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust.
The merger provides an opportunity to reconfigure services in a way that provides the best healthcare services to the city and improves the quality of care and health outcomes that patients experience.
The Trust runs Aintree University Hospital, Broadgreen Hospital, Liverpool University Dental Hospital and the Royal Liverpool University Hospital.
It serves a core population of around 630,000 people across Merseyside as well as providing a range of highly specialist services to a catchment area of more than two million people in the North West region and beyond.
