About the Role
Pulse is recruiting an experienced Psychologist for a part‑time inpatient role within an adult acute service, working across two wards.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a well‑established multidisciplinary team (MDT), offering autonomy, clinical variety, and the chance to contribute meaningfully to service delivery.

- Provide clinical supervision to pre‑qualified and junior psychologists
- Support psychological formulation and intervention planning within the MDT
- Occasionally carry a small caseload of more complex patients, where required
- Contribute to service development and quality improvement initiatives
This role offers you the opportunity to shape clinical practice while maintaining a strong work‑life balance.
Benefits
In this role, you’ll benefit from:
- Flexible part‑time working (2 days per week)
- Competitive salary package
- Supportive, established MDT environment
- Opportunity to focus on supervision and leadership
- Strong clinical governance and professional support
- Well‑resourced inpatient service with clear clinical pathways
Qualifications and Experience
Essential / Minimum Requirements
- HCPC registration as a Practitioner Psychologist
- Experience working with adult mental health populations
- Ability to work autonomously within an MDT setting
Desirable
- Previous inpatient or acute ward experience
- Experience supervising trainees or pre‑qualified psychologists
- Confidence working with complex mental health presentations
If you don’t meet every requirement but feel this role could be a good fit, we strongly encourage you to apply.
