The post holder will join the Children's Rheumatology Service at the Nottingham Children's Hospital (QMC).

Children and young people experiencing a rheumatic disease can experience a high level of psychological distress and a range of psychological difficulties.

As a psychologist working in the service, you will provide a specialist clinical psychology service for children/young people to help them better manage psychological distress and obtain better treatment outcomes.

Your base will predominantly be at the Children's Hospital QMC campus.

You will be part of a welcoming and growing Clinical Psychology Department which incorporates specialisms in Paediatric Psychology, Adult Medical Psychology and Child and Adult Neuropsychology.

There are opportunities for continued professional development and clinical supervision is well provided for within the paediatric clinical psychology team.

We regularly have trainees from the DClinPsy courses around the region, so there would be opportunities to supervise trainees.

You will also be involved in providing consultation, training and supervision as required to others within and outside of the multidisciplinary team.

The department has a commitment to clinical research. Strong support is available to participate in research or to develop your clinical research interests.


With over 17,000 staff, we are one of the biggest employers in the city with a central role in supporting the health and wellbeing of our local population.

We play a leading role in research, education and innovation.
