This will be on a 1:1 basis in an outpatient clinic therefore the candidate needs to have experience or an interest in providing psychological interventions to an autonomous caseload of patients.
We recruit people based on their values and qualifications (where required) and believe that their lived experience is an advantage, this means that together we are as diverse as the communities we care for.
