We are looking forward to working with somebody who can lead in the provision and delivery of clinical psychology for people of adult age living in the Western Isles. With a post-graduate doctoral level training in clinical psychology, you will have substantial experience in working with people of adult age, including learning disabilities. In addition to being committed to person centred approaches, you should also have considerable experience in using evidence based approaches for people with challenging behaviour and complex mental health difficulties. You should have a track record in effective multi-disciplinary/agency team working as well as staff training, and a good understanding of relevant policy and legislation.
We are hoping to recruit a suitable candidate who is keen to live in Western Isles and enjoy the unique experience that island life has to offer. However, we appreciate that for some staff living in Western Isles permanently may not be an option. We are able to offer flexibility, with remote working options, which makes NHS Western Isles an attractive employer. Interested? You will be expected to travel to the western isles on a quarterly basis and meet the cost of travel and accommodation. Why not get in touch?
Applicants must be car drivers and in possession of a full UK driving licence.

The successful applicant will be required to register with the PVG Scheme (Protecting Vulnerable Groups Scheme). This post is not eligible for relocation expenses.
