During this period, you will be contracted to work 900 hours (working pattern to be agreed in discussion with the research team) to support the development of our work within the homeless sector.  With support from South-East NHS England, the Surrey PsychD programme has been working on an innovative project over the past two years to develop homelessness placements for trainees, and to embed housing and homelessness as a priority agenda within the PsychD programme. The project seeks to expand the psychological workforce within the homelessness sector, and to generate ways of working between the third sector and the NHS. Building on the success of the project to date, we are now seeking an Associate with experience of working in the homelessness sector, or a similar field, to support the continued development of these placements and the longevity of the project. This post will form a crucial role in building strategic relationships with local third sector organisations across Surrey and Sussex, and with our partner NHS Trusts’ housing initiatives.  The post holder will be expected to develop and coordinate trainee placements, generate new ways to assess trainee competencies within these organisations, and support trainees undertaking these roles. There will also be a requirement to support supervisors in the region, and to work with organisational leads to provide overall structure to the placements. This is an exciting time to join the project team, with opportunities for project management, leadership, stakeholder engagement and national dissemination. The role will involve close liaison with the PsychD programme exec team, as well as the wider team.

Applicants will need to be registered with the HCPC as a Clinical or Counselling Psychologist, will have experience of working in third sector organisations, and will be able to demonstrate excellent organisational and project management skills. The post will provide an opportunity to work with a team of applied psychologists, homeless sector partners as well as trainees who respect and value one another, are advocates for lived experience, lifelong learning, and who embrace change.  The School and Faculty The clinical psychology programme is based within the School of Psychology, within the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences (FHMS). The faculty is a leading provider of undergraduate and postgraduate healthcare education, research and consultancy.
