Royal Cornhill Hospital
Band 8B Clinical Psychologist Post - Gender Identity Clinic

Part Time 15 hours per week

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated individual to gain experience in a new and developing service, the Gender Identity Clinic (GIC), based at Royal Cornhill Hospital.

The GIC offers specialist assessment and support to adults (18+) who present with gender diversity. Where gender dysphoria is confirmed patients will be supported through the GIC pathway so that they may access various gender affirming treatments. Currently the GIC is staffed by a small team including Consultant Psychiatry and Clinical Psychology. The GIC covers patients in NHS Grampian (including Moray), NHS Orkney and NHS Shetland. When complete the multidisciplinary pathway will include Endocrinology, Dermatology, SALT & Plastic Surgery (ARI & National Providers).

This is a part-time post of 15 hours per week. Working hours and days are flexibility to meet the needs of the service and are open to negotiation. If you wish to pursue this opportunity as a secondment you must have the permission of your line manager.

Applicants who are qualified in Clinical Psychology but lack Gender Identity experience will be considered. Suitable training and graded experience would be provided if such applicants were successful.
