• Thought provoking interactive workshop events and written content.

About you:

• Are you an HCPC registered Clinical or Practitioner Psychologist?

• Are you looking for a new adventure where you can really love your work?
• Do you want to be free of bureaucracy, annoying admin and IT issues so you can get on with doing what you do best?
• Do you enjoy working with great colleagues?
• Do you really want to make a difference every day and have great fun along the way behind the scenes?

Would you and Amplify be a good fit?

To try and ensure the best possible fit, we have identified 4 ability areas we think are key to thriving in the Amplify culture. We want to hear from you if you can:

1. Focus on the team - we support and appreciate each other and carefully consider multiple perspectives from across the team. We do this because we fundamentally believe that our own personal success is contingent on the team and business flourishing
2. Prioritise, multitask and adapt - at Amplify you will need to flex, embrace learning and maintain several roles as required
3. Remain calm and focused - we are growing constantly but sustainably, this growth unfolds new opportunities and challenges. You should be able to (with our support) navigate this and; be willing and able to tolerate sometimes working outside your current comfort zone and to expand your knowledge, skills and practice in line with business needs
4. You can be trusted to take responsibility - we balance reflection and consideration of perspectives with taking action, making (sometimes challenging) decisions and finding solutions to problems rather than just highlight them

About the services we run:

Amplify delivers services to businesses in the finance, insurance, legal and entertainment sectors. Our services focus on ease of access, clinical quality, great service user and clinician experience. Here is an outline of how we do this:

• An employee (the client) or (with consent) someone else like a team manager or HR professional can refer the employee to Amplify using a simple web form (via a URL or QR code) that takes 2 mins to complete. We screen it immediately for any imminent risk concerns while the client schedules themselves into a convenient appointment slot with one of the team. The booking system automatically scans our calendars to only show current availability. We have very few exclusion criteria so the severity and type of emotional or mental health issue varies considerably from mild anxiety/low mood and relationship problems to addictions, suicidality, trauma and complex emotional and interpersonal difficulties.

• When individuals need longer-term support we provide a concierge-like service and motivate and support them to connect to ongoing support as clinically appropriate (e.g., a formal course of therapy accessed via Private Medical Insurance) as part of their recovery journey. In most cases we see clients for only 3 - 4 sessions, help them to resolve the immediate issue and they are able to self-manage when we close the referral; though we do hold some clients longer in specific circumstances. We do not have a wait-list and we provide impactful help from the first session.

• We also consult to leaders/managers and HR teams on challenging situations related to employee mental health/well-being issues. Sometimes (with appropriate consents) we facilitate conversations between the employees and manager or HR business partners to achieve an agreed plan that works for all parties.

Our team is deliberately diverse in therapeutic skill set and clinical speciality; we are not wedded to a particular therapeutic model but the interventions we provide must be goal-directed and impactful and have practical value within a short period of time. When consulting, we aim to address the systemic issues. We use aggregated data and insights from the clinical themes we see to help our customer organisations make informed decisions about their employee well-being programmes and people strategy.
