CNWL is looking for 12 candidates for a six month, part time clinical psychologist scholarship role as part of the APSIRE programme.

Heath Education England (HEE) plans to improve equity of access and inclusion for entrants to clinical psychology training for groups currently under represented.  Part of the NHS Long Term Plan is to improve diversity of the workforce to better represent the users it supports.  ASPIRE is intended to give opportunities to develop initial clinical experience for aspiring clinical psychologist who would otherwise be excluded from entering the profession through unpaid work experience.

As part of our key commitment to address social inequalities in health, we are particularly seeking to employ psychology graduates with the drive to make a significant contribution to this priority.  This includes candidates from the many diverse social and cultural communities the Trust serves which are currently under represented in our psychology staff groups.  Candidates who can bring this valuable experience, including the ability to provide care in any of the languages of local communities, will be supported to develop their careers and flourish as valued members of our services.

We held a virtual webinar on Thursday 13 May 2021 from 5pm where prospective applicants could find out more about the scholarship and the application process.
