Believe in People?

We believe in you.

Join our dedicated Brighton CGL team as an Assistant Psychologist, where you'll collaborate with experienced professionals in a trauma-informed, person-centred environment. You'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on individuals' mental health and well-being while benefiting from continuous learning, innovation, and professional development opportunities designed to support your growth.

Location: Brighton

Full Time Hours: 37.5 hours per week

Full Time Salary Range: £26,502.53- £29,529.80  (based on 37.5 hours per week, pro rata for part time)

*Please note: Full-time hours at Change Grow Live are 37.5 hours per week. For part-time roles, the salary and payments will be pro rata based on contracted hours. 

You will work to promote trauma informed practice within the team and wider service through consultation, case management, training, reflective practice, and research. Under the supervision of a Senior Psychologist, you will offer a range of evidence-based psychological and psychosocial interventions relevant to address the degree of complexity experienced within this population of people. 

Our model emphasises physical, psychological, and emotional safety and helps people to rebuild a sense of control and empowerment in their lives and in their communities. You will provide low level brief psychological interventions, primarily in groups, but also on an individual basis; input into service development initiatives; and assist our psychologists, who will provide regular supervision. 

Our national Psychology Team provides connection, peer support, reflective practice, and CPD. Our Assistant Psychologists meet regularly, and we offer support in applying for further training.  We embrace diversity, equality and inclusion as evidenced by our commitment to building a team with a variety of backgrounds, skills, and views. We strive to nurture a culture where inclusiveness is a way of being, not an initiative. 

Our values are to be compassionate, open, and bold.
