We are looking for a Consultant Applied Psychologist or Psychological Therapist, trained as a CAT Supervisor, to job share for one day a week with the existing Trust Lead for CAT. If you do not currently meet the criteria for an 8c role, this role could be offered as an 8b developmental post with support to complete a masters in research.
This opportunity has arisen due to one of the existing job holders leaving the trust. You will be required to provide clinical leadership, governance and direction in the continual development and provision of cognitive analytic therapy across the Trust, both as a therapy and contextual/organisational use.
Main duties of the job We are looking for applicants with passion for the contextual/organisational use of CAT. The development of relational thinking and reflective practice across the Trust will be a key responsibility, including strategic and operational development in order to support staff at every level of the organisation.
About us TEWV has a large, established network of CAT Practitioners, CAT locality leads and supervisors, and you will support and lead this network with regard to CPD, supervision arrangements, governance, and service evaluation. The post reports to the Chief Psychological Professions Officer under the Director of Therapies and alongside the other Governed Psychological Therapy, and Psychological Professions leads.
Psychologists & Psychological Therapists provide key leadership roles within the Trust. To support this we have developed leadership profiles for each psychology band and the profile card associated with this post is attached on NHS Jobs. We encourage you to look at these resources as they will play a part in the interview process.
Job description Job responsibilities Monitoring and implementing targets for CAT delivery across the organisation will involve long term strategic planning: from staff interested in CAT, to Practitioner training, to adequate supervision. Your role will also involve providing accredited CAT supervision, consultation to clinicians across the Trust and liaison with external bodies (e.g. NHS-E (WT& E), and HEIs).
You will be required to be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council or another regulatory body (NMC, GMC, SW-E). You will also be required to be registered with ACAT and meet ongoing accreditation requirements. We provide excellent opportunities for peer support/supervision, CPD, teaching/training, and research and audit in line with strategic developments.
There are also strong links to the local Teesside D Clin Psy Programme as we are key providers of academic and clinical experience components both in terms of teaching and supervision. We also have strong links with the CAT Practitioner training courses (Newcastle and Manchester) and ACAT.
