Overview
Position Title: Clinical Psychologist
Company: City of Westminster
Location: Westminster, London borough, UK
Job Description:
Nothing beats the feeling of helping someone find their passion. At Westminster City Council, our City Lions team helps young local people engage with culture, creativity and dreams. When they came across a lonely, isolated 16-year-old who called himself a failure, they knew what to do. They worked 1-2-1 to find the thing this boy really loved. YouTube, it turned out. But it’s impossible to turn that into a career, right? Wrong. A week later, he was enrolled on the British Film Institute film-making programme. It was the ultimate light-bulb moment. And it turned him into what he is today – a budding Spielberg with a world of opportunity at his feet.
Responsibilities:
- At Westminster City Council, we are passionate about our aim to be an inclusive workplace for all that reflects the communities we serve, and we believe everyone is valued.
- We particularly welcome applicants from underrepresented backgrounds, including B.A.M.E (Black, Asian and Multiple Ethnic background) , LGBTQ+ and those with hidden or visible disabilities.
- We’re committed to ensuring all our staff – regardless of gender, age, religion, sexuality, ethnicity or disability – can succeed.
- We value diversity and appreciate that people work in different ways.
- So, as a Timewise employer we work to provide flexible working arrangements and an empowering environment that enables you to be your best, that is the Westminster Way.
Requirements:
- With a professional qualification in clinical psychology, you’ll be UKCP or HCPC registered, and be able to provide evidence of continuing post-qualification professional development.
- A clear enhanced DBS check is essential, and you should have experience of working with vulnerable groups and individuals from diverse ethnic communities, and the ability to work in high-pressure situations with residents who are suffering high levels of risk and anxiety.
