I’m excited to offer this opportunity to a forward thinking and proactive Clinical Psychologist.  

We work in a very person-centered way and people with learning disabilities and their families are at the center entre of what we do. To achieve this, we carry out joint assessments, share our professional knowledge and work in partnership with key parts of the local health and care system.

You will provide direct clinical assessments, formulations interventions to individuals and will have active support from the principal Lead Clinical Psychologist.   

In 2021, the service was nationally recognised and received a ‘highly commended’ accolade from the National Pharmacy Awards. In 2022 we reached the finals at the National Learning Disability and Autism Awards and later that year received the Trust’s ‘Outstanding Clinical Team of the year. More recently in 2025, we were recognised for ‘Outstanding Patient Experience’ from our Speech & language therapists and nationally, from the ‘Beyond Words’ charity for the ‘Most Inspirational Outcome’. In May 2026, the service received the local ‘Team of the Month’ in recognition of the outstanding work we undertake.
