Why This Role Matters

This is a chance to step into a position where your clinical expertise directly influences patient flow, discharge progression and length of stay.

You’ll be at the heart of improving care pathways—ensuring patients move safely, confidently and efficiently through secure services.

Working in a service that truly values psychological thinking, you’ll use targeted, formulation-led interventions to reduce barriers, enhance stability and support timely transitions to less restrictive environments. Your work will have visible, meaningful impact every day.

We work closely with partners across the West Midlands, including the University of Birmingham and Aston University, and we’re proud of our strong multidisciplinary ethos.

This is a hospital embracing positive change, innovation and new ways of working—a place where your ideas will be heard and your professional growth actively supported.

The Role

We are seeking a qualified or newly qualified Psychologist with experience or a strong interest in working with complex and challenging patient groups. You will be eligible for—or already hold—HCPC registration.

In this role, you will:

  • Play a central part in improving patient flow and reducing length of stay through proactive, formulation-driven interventions
  • Work closely with the MDT to create clear, dynamic discharge plans
  • Deliver a range of assessments and evidence-based therapies, including LMV, EMDR, DBT and trauma-focused approaches
  • Provide both 1:1 and group interventions
  • Work across diverse clinical populations, including older adults and adults of working age
  • Contribute to supervision, training, research and service development
  • Be part of a team that values reflective practice, shared learning and practitioner wellbeing

You’ll join a motivated, skilled and supportive Psychology team that celebrates individual strengths and nurtures emerging specialisms. This is a place where you can grow, innovate and shape your career.

Rewards

We offer an excellent benefits package including: Pension; Sickness policy on par with the NHS; Access to the Blue Light Card and Health Service Discounts schemes; 27 days annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing after 10 years' service; Life cover; Electric Car lease scheme; Cycle to work scheme; Healthcare cash plan; Free parking; Paid DBS application; Access to free vocational qualifications.

Every day, you’ll be expected to live our CARE values — Compassion, Accountability, Respect and Excellence.
