Description:
Ready to make a difference? You will work within a thriving partnership recently rated outstanding by the CQC for its delivery of Drug and Alcohol services to the people of Leeds. Forward Leeds is a partnership between LYPFT, Barca and St Anne’s with lead provider Humankind. The partnership delivers high quality care within a trauma informed service model. This new post will play a lead role in shaping the service as it expands. Information about the service can be found on our website
You will be committed to collective and compassionate leadership to further develop the strategic vision and clinical model within this supportive and dynamic partnership. You will lead a small and growing team of LYPFT psychologists and therapists working with a diverse population of people who have substance abuse difficulties and co-existing mental health problems. The team delivers training and supervision of psychosocial interventions and specialist psychological therapy.
You will be supported by operational and clinical lead colleagues, both within the partnership, and wider across Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. We are proud that 100% of psychological professions within LYPFT recently surveyed reported they felt supported by colleagues.
Main duties of the job
We are committed to robust professional leadership, equality, diversity and inclusion and supporting staff wellbeing. Our monthly Consultant Psychological Professions meeting will enable you to build professional networks, and we support each other to work collectively as outlined in our Psychological Professions Strategy.
Suitable candidates can be appointed to the higher end role but we are open to candidates seeking a development post, which will offer you a clear pathway to achieving the experience, skills and knowledge required to secure the higher end role/pay band within the team once the agreed competencies have been met.
You will be provided with a supportive learning environment for a defined period, which is designed to help you meet the requirements of the higher end role. A further interview will be arranged at the end of this period.
If on a development plan the post holder will be recruited to the lower band job description and person specification.
Working within the addiction field with people with cooccurring mental health issues and complex trauma, the postholder will ensure the systematic provision of a high quality, compassionate specialist psychologically informed Drug and Alcohol service to LYPFT clients and across the Forward Leeds partnership.
