Main duties of the job

The postholder will be part of a valued and established Adult Neuropsychology Consultation service in NELFT which offers specialist neuropsychological assessment, consultation and advice to teams in both community health and mental health pathways in the Trust.

These teams include local community rehabilitation teams, specialist community neurology nurses, Talking Therapies (TT) and Mental Health and Well-Being Teams (MHWTs). The post-holder will be involved in neuropsychology pathway service development including generating business cases, supervision of qualified psychologists, trainee psychologists and assistant psychologists, delivery of teaching and training on neuropsychology topics, and promotion of the service throughout the Trust. 

The main team base is in a new, purpose-built community health centre (Jane Atkinson Health and Well-Being Centre, Waltham Forest) but the other bases across NELFTs London and Essex boroughs could be used and some hybrid working can be accommodated in the role. NELFT is a digitally literate Trust, with laptop and smart phone provision as standard, and the post-holder will have access to Pearson’s Qinteractive platform for their neuropsychological assessments.

Supervision would be from a Consultant Clinical Neuropsychologist and candidates who have not yet completed their post-doctoral neuropsychology training and gained entry to the Specialist Register of Clinical Neuropsychologists (SRCN) would be encouraged and supported to do so.
