We are delighted to share an opportunity that has arisen for an experienced and highly motivated Clinical Psychologist to join the South Staffordshire Community Perinatal Mental Health Team.

We are looking for a dynamic, passionate, and creative clinician who wants to make a difference to the lives of mothers, babies, and their wider families, and who strives to provide the best care at all times.

You will have a passion for supporting both Adult and Infant Mental Health and an understanding of how psychological interventions may be applied within this specialty.

The successful candidate will be closely integrated into and meet regularly with the multi-disciplinary team (MDT). They will be joining a supportive and engaged Perinatal Clinical Psychology team, MDT and wider service, and will receive regular supervision and CPD as well as informal support. Across MPFT Perinatal Services there is a strong psychological structure in place comprising of 9 qualified clinical psychologists and 7 assistant psychologists. We are in the process of recruiting to a Consultant Clinical Psychologist post to support and lead the growing psychology provision.

 The South Staffordshire Community Perinatal Mental Health Team covers the entire geographical region.  There is an expectation for the successful post holder to be able to travel to meet the service need.  The team continue to have a base at Brockington Parent and Baby Unit on the St George’s Hospital site, however we have adapted to new ways of working following the COVID-19 pandemic, and blended working developments continue to be in place. We welcome applications for flexible and hybrid working.

Whilst we are seeking an experienced psychologist to fill this 8a position, if you are recently qualified or due to qualify in 2024, we will consider your application and have an established preceptorship process in place. Please state on your application if this is the case.
