NHS Scotland is committed to fostering a culture of equality and diversity within our workforce, and we strive to eliminate unlawful discrimination. Our goal is to create a truly representative workforce, where each employee feels valued and empowered to contribute their best.

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Clinical Psychologist to join our team. As a key member of our organization, you will play a vital role in delivering high-quality psychological services to our patients.

Key Responsibilities
  • Provide highly specialized clinical psychology services to users of our specialty service, offering expert advice and consultation on clients' psychological care to non-psychologist colleagues and other caregivers.

You will also need to have postgraduate doctoral-level training in clinical/counselling psychology, including models of psychopathology, clinical psychometrics, and neuropsychology, as well as two or more distinct psychological therapies and lifespan developmental psychology.

Registration with the HCPC as a Practitioner Clinical Psychologist is essential for this role. Trainee Clinical Psychologists are not expected to be HCPC registered at the point of application, but they will need to have attained registration before commencing the post.

What We Offer

NHS Scotland offers a competitive salary and a range of benefits, including an excellent relocation package of up to £12,000, depending on eligibility. We are committed to supporting the professional development of our staff and offer opportunities for training and career advancement.
