Senior Counsellor or Psychotherapist

We are delighted to share this exciting opportunity to join our lovely team.

The Macmillan Psychology Service is a new service across South West Hertfordshire to provide psychological care for people with cancer or palliative care needs, their families and carers.

The post holder will be responsible for providing specialist assessment and intervention to service users, as an integral and valued member of the South West Hertfordshire Macmillan Psychology Service.

The role also involves provision of teaching, advice, consultation and supervision regarding clients' psychological care to non-psychology colleagues. The post holder will be responsible for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of individual, family and group psychotherapeutic interventions with support from our assistant psychologist. The service works in collaboration with a range of voluntary agencies as well as other Trust services. The service is provided within a range of settings including hospital and hospice inpatient units, care homes, community clinics and, where necessary, in patients' homes.

We work alongside a supportive wider Cancer and Palliative Care Psychology team. There is a genuine focus on staff development and wellbeing.
