Are you passionate about neurosciences and the neuroscience population?

Do you have the strategic vision and leadership skills to support our neuropsychology specialism in delivering an excellent service for our stakeholders and service users?

Do you share our core values of delivering psychologically informed healthcare for all?

We are looking for an experienced, compassionate and motivated QICN registered consultant clinical/applied neuropsychologist to lead our neuropsychology service provision here at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals Trust.

Neuropsychology at LTHTR provides input across a diverse range of neurological conditions and works across both inpatient and outpatient settings alongside our MDT colleagues.

The post-holder would have line management responsibilities for the clinical (neuro)psychologists and psychology practitioners / assistants who work within the neuropsychology specialism in the psychology service.

We hope that in joining our senior team you will think strategically, creatively and compassionately to about how we can develop and deliver our service to best support the neurosciences population, as well as working to ensure the clinical health psychology service continues to be a great place to work for our team members.

The neuropsychology service is dedicated to providing a range of input for the neuroscience population at LTHTr, across inpatient and outpatient pathways, to support the Trust priorities and identified KPIs.

The consultant neuropsychologist will have a key role in providing strategic oversight and management across the referral pathways for service provision within neuropsychology services; working with the neuropsychology staff team and stakeholders to optimise the provision, in line with national guidelines and best practice.

The post would suit a clinical/applied neuropsychologist with substantial operational, strategic and management experience. The diverse nature of the clinical work and commensurate leadership required is also such that this post requires the post-holder to hold the QICN and be on the register of qualified clinical neuropsychologists. Experience of working across both inpatient and outpatient neurology settings is also desirable.

We are looking for a dynamic individual who can drive the service forward through innovative developments and provide ideas for continuous improvement.

You’ll have access to varied development opportunities, learn new skills, meet fab people & do things you’d never have done. You’ll learn about working in a hospital, interacting with people from all different roles to build skills & enhance your career path.

You’ll make an impact, be challenged to think differently, be bold & help innovate to keep improving things. Everything we do centres around patient care which means your role is pivotal and something really to be proud of.
