Sheffield, Sheffield, United Kingdom Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are delighted to advertise this exciting new post working with patients undergoing Blood Stem Cell Transplant and the clinical team within the Haematology Psychology Service at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals Foundation Trust (STHFT).

We aim to attract a committed, diverse, and talented workforce who are passionate about delivering psychological care within an acute hospital setting and adapting approaches to meet the needs of our services and service users. In return, we offer a supportive, dynamic work setting where you can link with colleagues and develop your career.

As a department, we recognise that diversity of workforce extends our skills, experiences, and ideas, thereby adding value and creativity to our services. The department has an active Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) group and welcome applications from candidates from all backgrounds. We particularly encourage applications from people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, those with disabilities and the LGBTQ+ community. In our latest staff survey, 95% of staff report feeling valued and cared for and that their role makes a difference.

Main duties of the job This post will work into the Clinical Haematology team based at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital which cares for patients undergoing stem cell transplant (SCT) for both malignant blood cancer diseases or non-malignant disease.

The post is a pilot service providing specialist input to improve and maintain patients' wellbeing and engagement with SCT treatment at all stages of the commissioned clinical pathway.

This includes pre SCT screening, assessments and intervention if needed, support as inpatients during SCT and post-transplant psychological support and care.
