Would you like to join a supportive, friendly, and innovative psychology team at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust?
This is a varied and interesting senior AP role, including inpatient and outpatient support, assessments and interventions, as well as supporting the team to keep accurate records and analyse data for service audit, development and research. You will be working in a team that values your unique experiences and interests. You will support and complement the work of a team of Practitioner Psychologists led by a Consultant Clinical/Health Psychologist and will work alongside doctoral psychology trainees, MSc health psychology trainees, and psychology undergraduates.
Our team takes a proactive, inclusive and reflexive approach to integrating psychological care into the treatment provided for people living with haematological conditions. We engage in regular reflective spaces, CPD and aim to continually learn about how to embed anti-discriminatory practices in our service delivery. We invite applicants who share this ethos and have a strong interest in the relationship between psychological and physical health and multidisciplinary working across inpatient and outpatient care.
A large proportion of our patients are people of the global majority. We particularly welcome applicants who can add to the diversity of the existing team and who value working with diverse communities. We strive to be as representative of the local population as much as possible.
You will be excited about supporting our mission to be a visible, accessible, high-quality service that takes a patient-centred, evidence-based, and needs-led approach to providing psychological support to patients with blood disorders and their families.
**Key elements of the role**:
- Providing psychological therapy to individuals under supervision
- Completing triage assessments, thorough risk assessments and signposting/referring on
- Using Excel to manage large datasets, including checking data quality and using functions to generate summary statistics
- Undertaking analyses to support the team with audit and research
- Contributing to multidisciplinary meetings and discussions
**Benefits**:
- Weekly individual supervision and fortnightly peer supervision
- Monthly CPD workshops and other training events
- Shadowing qualified psychologists within the Trust
- Opportunities for skill development e.g. presenting at conferences
- Strong links to the local Doctorate in Clinical Psychology Programme
In the event of an excessive number of applicants the Trust reserves the right to close this vacancy earlier than indicated.
Since 1997 the Haematology Psychology Service (HPS) has provided psychological support to patients with blood disorders and their families at GSTT. We are mainly located within the haematology department at Guy’s Hospital and are therefore well integrated within the multidisciplinary haematology teams. We also provide some integrated care to the Centre for Haemophilia and Thrombosis at St Thomas’ Hospital. We see inpatients and outpatients and offer individual psychological therapy, group therapy/support, cognitive assessment, and joint multidisciplinary consultations. We also work with staff (e.g. medical doctors and ward nurses) to support them in providing quality care. We are enthusiastic about teaching, training, research, audit, and contributing to the development of psychology in haematology on a London-wide and national basis, and are always keen to explore service improvements and innovative ways of working. The HPS is led by the Consultant Clinical/Health Psychologist and also comprises one Band 8b, one Band 8a, two Band 7 Practitioner Psychologists, trainees and students. We meet regularly with other psychologists across GSTT and are involved in Trust-wide initiatives.
