Specialist Clinical or Counselling Psychologist
4 weeks ago
Highly Specialist Counselling or Clinical Psychologist The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust is a specialist trust with a focus on training and education alongside a full range of mental health and Gender services.
Within the Trust, the Tavistock and Portman 'Charing Cross' Gender Identity Clinic (GIC) is the largest and oldest of the 7 English GICs, dating back to 1966. It serves to formulate, diagnose, and assist adults with gender dysphoria or diversity through a biopsychosocial care pathway, involving a multi-disciplinary team of psychologists, psychiatrists, endocrinologists, specialist nurses, speech and language therapists, and medical practitioners.
No specific specialty training is required to fulfil the clinical role. Individuals from a variety of medical or psychiatric backgrounds may have knowledge and skills relevant to the role, such as psychiatric or psychosexual assessment, hormonal management of endocrine disorders and menopause or experience in sexual and reproductive health and genitourinary medicine.
There is recognition that a successful candidate may not have the full breadth of knowledge and expertise required to fulfil the clinical role initially, especially if they have not worked in a gender identity clinic in the past. The post-holder is required to provide assistance to people with gender dysphoria or diversity. This will involve utilising psychological principles and approaches in assessment, diagnosis and management of gender dysphoria or diversity.
Due to the complexities surrounding the mental and physical health aspects of gender dysphoria or diversity and the ensuing emotional and physical presentations of the patients, the post requires highly specialist skills.
They will be conversant with gender and sexual diversity, the conditions of gender dysphoria/diversity, treatment options and associated implications for both the patient and psychologist.
The post holder will provide highly specialist psychological assessment and intervention as well as advice and consultation on patients' psychological care to other health professionals.
The postholder will need to work closely with the multidisciplinary team and be familiar with medical as well as psychological models. There is an expectation for the postholder to engage in research and ongoing continuing professional development.
The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust is a specialist mental health trust with a focus on training and education alongside a full range of mental health services and psychological therapies for children and their families, young people and adults.
With 500 staff across a number of sites, we are committed to improving mental health and emotional wellbeing, believing that high quality mental health services should be available for all who need them.
We bring a distinctive contribution based on the importance we attach to social experience at all stages of people's lives, and our focus on psychological and developmental approaches to the promotion of health and the prevention and treatment of mental ill health.
