London, United Kingdom Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust Full time

PLEASE READ THIS JOB ADVERT CAREFULLY.

This post is based at University Hospital Lewisham, London and involves working with patients who are being considered for bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery) as part of a multi-disciplinary team.

At the beginning of your personal statement, in no more than 250 words, please describe why you would like to work in the field of eating behaviours and obesity. Applicants who fail to answer this question will not be considered for the post.

Applications are invited for an Assistant Psychologist to join our new UHL bariatric psychology service, which offers psychological support for adults living with obesity who are considering weight loss surgery. This is a part-time post (0.4 wte) at University Hospital Lewisham, London, with scope for remote working where appropriate. It is a fixed-term post for 10 months with the possibility of extension.

This vacancy may close early if a sufficient number of applicants are received.

The Bariatric Surgery Service is delivered by a multidisciplinary team comprising a Principal Health Psychologist, Consultant Surgeons, a Dietician, and a Clinical Nurse Specialist. The Bariatric Psychology service also has a Trainee Psychologist working in the service, as well as hosting MSc health psychology students on placement. The team are based within the Division of Surgery, Elective Surgical Centre and Critical Care at University Hospital Lewisham.

The role of the Assistant Psychologist is to support the delivery and audit of the Bariatric Psychology Service under the supervision of the Principal Health Psychologist. The post holder will be required to help set up new clinical pathways, develop patient materials (e.g. psycho-education), conduct audits, and support service delivery. Part of this will involve helping to set up group-based therapy for binge eating and post-surgical support groups, so there may be opportunities to assist in the running of these. There may also be opportunities for involvement in research and other projects as appropriate.
