Main duties of the job

The post holder will have an interest and be experienced in applying a range of psychological models in a flexible way, working directly with children, young people and their families. There will be indirect work via liaison and consultation with multidisciplinary teams and external agencies. The role will also include teaching and training MDT colleagues, research, and evaluation and development of the paediatric psychology service

About us

The post holder(s) will be joining a team of 5 other paediatric psychologists plus a full-time administrator. Trainee placements are provided for the North Thames training courses. There are regular meetings with colleagues within the wider network of paediatric psychologists locally and nationally. We have established links with the large team of paediatric clinical psychologists at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust. Undertaking CPD opportunities (e.g. attendance at national and international conferences) is actively encouraged with significant funding provided by the Trust.

As a flexible working friendly organization, we want to be sure that you can work in a way that is best for our patients, our staff and for you. Please speak to us about how we might be able to accommodate a flexible working arrangement whether that's job share, part time or another flexible pattern.
