Job summary
Are you an Applied Psychologist with an interest in maternal mental health and a drive to make a meaningful difference during pregnancy and beyond?
We are seeking an experienced and compassionate clinician to join our psychology-led Maternity Mental Health Service on a 12 month fixed-term/secondment contract, to deliver specialist care across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
Our team supports people experiencing difficulties directly linked to the maternity journey. We pride ourselves on strong partnerships with maternity services and a shared commitment to person-centred, trauma-informed care.

*Provide evidence-based psychological therapy, as outlined by the NICE Guidelines and Quality Standards Pathway for Antenatal and Postnatal Mental Health Care.
*Offer specialist consultation and psychological supervision for identified maternity staff (including the Specialist Mental Health Midwives, Birth Reflections Midwives and Bereavement Midwives).
*Deliver education and training for staff supporting families across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
*Undertake line management and clinical supervision within the Service as appropriate, including for trainees on placement.
*Participate in service improvement, audit, and research projects.
*Demonstrate observable outcomes and impact of their work.

Urgent Care Practitioner - Mental Health Liaison
Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust View all jobs
Posted 1 month(s) ago
Reference: 354-AC-21333
Job summary
Are you looking for a role which brings a real challenge every day?
Hello, I'm Lisa and I am looking for Urgent Care Practitioners to join the Mental Health Liaison team who can bring knowledge and expertise to this dynamic area of mental health service provision.
You will be working at the interface between physical and psychological health and bring your knowledge and expertise to your general hospital colleagues. You will undertake specialist and timely mental health assessments and treatment for patients attending the General Hospital. We support patients with a wide range of problems, including self-harm, adjustment to illness and physical and psychological co-morbidities. As there is no entrance requirement for A&E and people's perceptions of what constitutes a mental health emergency or crisis can vary, our team are referred people with all sorts of problems, including those people presenting to mental health services for the very first time.
This post offers the Trust's £2,000 Golden Hello or Relocation Incentive for Band 6 Nurses & Practitioners, (pro rata and subject to terms and conditions; please see attached Protocol Document for full details).
Main duties of the job
I am looking for practitioners who are confident in the management of common mental health problems and who can bring their knowledge to their general hospital colleagues both informally and by undertaking teaching sessions. We have recently merged with our Older Persons Liaison Team so are now providing assessments and support to anyone over the age of 18.
You will need excellent communication skills and be able to foster excellent relationships with patients, carers, general hospital colleagues and other parts of the health and social care system.
This is a challenging but rewarding role, offering an exciting opportunity to nurses, occupational therapists or social workers who have strong assessment and therapeutic skills. You will need the ability to work autonomously whilst still contributing to the team as a whole. If you enjoy the challenge and stimulus of working under pressure and are able to remain calm in quickly changing circumstances, you will be well suited to this role.
About us
As our Coastal Urgent Care Pathway moves towards CORE 24 standards, the post-holder will work flexible hours to support delivery of 24/7 services. It is essential that you are able to work on a shift pattern to include nights.
This role will support the work of and across Urgent Care Teams (Crisis Resolution Home Treatment Team and The Haven) and as such the post holder will be expected to work across these teams as required. Our three services are integral to our Urgent Care Pathway and ensure people presenting to acute mental health services receive a compassionate, person- centred assessment and timely care plan whether this occurs in an acute setting such as The Haven; the General Hospital or in their home.

Lead Pharmacist Early Intervention
Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust View all jobs
Posted 1 month(s) ago
Reference: 354-CO-21992
Job summary
We're excited to be bringing a new medicines supply service in-house later in 2026--an important step that creates fresh opportunities for innovation, skill development, and career progression across our team. This Pharmacy Hub will be situated at our Swandean site in Worthing. This change will also strengthen how we support our trainee pharmacy professionals on their career journeys. As we grow our dispensary function, all staff will play a key role in supporting the implementation and delivery of this service while we recruit into new dispensary roles, helping to shape a dynamic and collaborative working environment.
Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust are seeking to appoint an exceptional clinical pharmacist and independent prescriber to support our Early Intervention in Psychosis Services (EIPS) across Sussex. The role has been pivotal in improving medicines use within the service. The role supports clinicians and operational leads across EIP services in all aspects of medicines use, including; improving medicines use, education and training, clinical queries and support, medicines spend and running patient facing clinics and prescribing roles. The role also leads on all aspects of EIPS related prescribing, including shared care and guidance at Trust and ICS levels.
Main duties of the job
The Sussex Early Intervention in Psychosis Service (EIPS) has an integral role to play in supporting service users and their families/carers in a community setting. EIPS is founded on an extensive and compelling evidence base which has demonstrated early and sustained intervention in psychosis can contribute significantly to the amelioration of initial problems and improve long-term outcomes in a cost-effective manner. Effective early treatment can reduce the probability of the emergence of longer term 'treatment resistant' symptoms and contributes to the avoidance of the 'revolving door' syndrome of repeated relapse and as suicide is highest in the first few years of First Episode Psychosis (FEP), can reduce the risk of suicide.
The main area of work is the delivery of care and treatment to young people and adults ages 14-65 experiencing a first episode of psychosis. Help will be offered to reduce distress, maintain independence and integrity of care networks, shorten illness, prevent relapse, promote recovery/social inclusion, and minimise the impact of disabilities. Work with friends and family is seen as an integral element of the way care is delivered.
The EIPS service is an integral part of the Specialist division. The service is made up of 6 EIPS teams across Sussex, managed by a Trust-wide Early Intervention General Manager and supported by a dedicated EIPS Clinical Lead. Teams are located in Horsham, Worthing, Bognor, Brighton, Hailsham and Hastings.
About us
