*An exciting new opportunity has arisen for 0.5 WTE band 7/8a Preceptorship Clinical/Counselling Psychologist (PLUS an additional 20% payment)  to join our Adult Inpatient Psychological Services Team in Rochford*

Attached to this post is a Recruitment Retention Premia (RRP) of 20% for 2 years, fixed from the start date. The RRP only applies to the employee whilst they remain in post (and subject to successful completion of the 6 months probationary period/in line with appraisals). We acknowledge that inpatient wards post-covid have experienced increased levels of acuity, staffing challenges and that non-inpatient roles have moved towards some remote working. Our RRP recognises these changes and supports those individuals who are passionate about working in our inpatient wards.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a qualified Clinical/Counselling Psychologist to join our psychological inpatient services in EPUT. This role is based at Rochford Hospital.

We invest in our staff. Many of our Consultant Psychologists have been promoted within EPUT. We value staff well-being and understand the importance of flexible working to maintain a work/home life balance and offer different configurations, including a combination of remote and on-site working. Part time and job-share applications are welcome for discussion.

Registration with Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) is essential and eligibility for registration with a professional body (BPS).
