StokeonTrent Staffordshire, United Kingdom North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust Full time

We have an opportunity for a clinical psychologist to join our welcoming and friendly, research active, expanding Neuropsychology Team at Combined Healthcare, a CQC-rated 'Outstanding' Mental Health Trust. The post is part time, 26 hours per week, to cover maternity leave and is based in an outpatient neuropsychology service. This is an excellent opportunity to gain a broad range of neuropsychology experience under expert supervision.

Opportunities will be available for individual, peer and group supervision (in line with BPS requirements), accessing CPD, research and audit, and service development.

There is some flexibility to allow home working for part of the week, depending on service need.

Although this is currently a 12 month fixed term post, there are business cases in progress to create substantive posts in the near future.

Main duties of the job

Core features of the roles will include:

  • Working alongside a Senior/Principal Psychologist/Neuropsychologist and Multi-Disciplinary Team to provide high quality psychological formulation and intervention for patients
  • Administration, scoring, interpretation, report-writing and feeding back of neuropsychological assessments, screening tools and outcome measures
  • Providing structured interventions under the supervision of a Psychologist/Neuropsychologist
  • Working with people who have complex needs which can present/lead to challenging situations or behaviours and risk.
  • Contributing to service development and evaluation projects
  • Offering group interventions
  • Previous experience of working with adults with physical, cognitive or mental health problems is essential.
  • Previous experience of working in a multidisciplinary team would be an advantage.
  • In person and remote (online and telephone) patient sessions
