Oxleas are seeking to recruit a Clinical or Counselling Psychologist to join one of our established and MDT integrated secondary care psychological therapies teams. We have a new vacancy for a full-time Band 7 position, within the ADAPT Team (Anxiety, Depression, Affective disorders, Personality disorders and Trauma).

Oxleas has a strong tradition in promoting psychological therapies and embraces multi-modal formulation-based approaches.

The successful candidate will offer psychological assessment, individual and group-based interventions using a range of different models.
