How does someone like her get her job role 🤢🤮

@domdyer70 Unfortunately though, some people raised in certain cultures particularly Islam, do not want to integrate and insist on trying to change our culture, so it’s difficult to feel genuinely welcoming towards them, particularly as so many on the boats are young men.

I think they misspelled Admin assistant here.

I asked for a pay rise as an NHS Assistant Psychologist and was told there was no funding😔 So I applied for a different NHS job and increased my pay by 5 figures (2 pay bands)💁🏻‍♀️

I get a lot of questions about how to enter the clinical psychology profession and it does take me a while to answer everyone. So I will try to put info together in one place. Not sure how it will look like yet but a brief outline of my journey is below:

Finally I got my smart card yesterday (on a non work day). Waiting for my ID badge. These processes are so long !

[insightfulpsych @insightfulpsyc]

Had a day off today for my driving test. Failed second time due to not being able to fix a manoeuvre. I panicked. Back to work tomorrow! It's assessment week and my second week of my new role.

My first 2.5 days of being an AP ASPIRE SCHOLAR has been interesting. Lots to learn and waiting for my IT things. Everyone is nice and my sleep hasn’t adjusted ….yay

Here’s another face of the current barriers in accessing clinical psychology: if you did not achieve *once* at age 18-20, possibly due to systemic disadvantage, that’s it. You’re done. Even if you went on to do a PhD.

We *must* do better, @psychmag @BPSOfficial @UKDCP. #dclinpsy
