Principal Clinical Psychologist - Learning Disabilities

We are looking for a compassionate and experienced Principal Clinical Psychologist to join our Pennine Care Learning Disability Care Hub.

If you are Kind, Fair, Ingenious and Determined then we want you to come and join us. We are passionate about staff well-being and compassionate leadership in the Learning Disability Care Hub. Equality, diversity and inclusion is at the top of our agenda. We believe that a diverse, inclusive and engaged culture is vital; that everyone’s value should be recognised and respected. We proactively challenge injustices, and publicly recognise our commitment to becoming anti-racist and supporting our transgender and non-binary colleagues. We also have thriving staff networks to make sure everyone has a voice.

The Learning Disabilities Care Hub includes five Community Learning Disability Teams across the footprint of Pennine Care. Clinical Psychology is valued locally within our community teams and within the wider Trust. Working base will be discussed at interview.

We offer a robust supervision and development structure. You will be part of an expanding, energetic, innovative Learning Disability Care Hub team that values coproduction and working alongside people with lived experience and promotes trauma informed care.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a multi-agency team, working alongside clinical psychologists, community learning disability nurses, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, physiotherapists, and other multidisciplinary mental health practitioners. The Learning Disability Care Hub consists of community learning disability teams delivering services to adults aged 18+ years and with some provision to children and young people.

Role

The postholder will collaborate with other Clinical Psychologists from across the Learning Disability Care Hub to take an active role in coordinating service development and engagement by supporting:

• Service delivery including development and delivery of psychological pathways
• Development and delivery of training
• Conducting research, audit, and evaluation
  
  

We are proud to provide high quality mental health and learning disability services, both inpatient and in the community across five boroughs of Greater Manchester - Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport and Tameside and Glossop.

Our vision is for a happier and more hopeful life for everyone in our communities and our staff work hard to deliver the very best care for the people who use our services. We’re really proud of our #PennineCarePeople and do everything we can to make sure we’re a great place to work.
