Principal Clinical/Counselling Psychologist
1 month ago
Job summary
This is an exciting and important opportunity to set up, lead and provide the Infected Blood Psychology Service (IBPS) within the Sheffield Haemophilia Comprehensive Care Centre (HCCC). The role will also involve clinical leadership of the broader Psychology Service working into Haematology and other associated areas.
In our latest staff survey, 95% of staff reported feeling valued and cared for and that their role makes a difference.
We aim to attract a committed, diverse, and talented workforce who are passionate about delivering psychological care within an acute hospital setting and adapting approaches to meet the needs of our services and service users. In return, we offer a supportive, dynamic work setting where you can link with colleagues and develop your career.
We welcome applications from HCPC registered Clinical/Counselling Psychologists with substantial post-qualification experience relevant to this context; support will be given for anyone returning to the workplace.
As a department, we recognise that diversity of workforce extends our skills, experiences, and ideas, thereby adding value and creativity to our services. The department has an active Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) group and welcome applications from candidates from all backgrounds. We particularly encourage applications from people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, those with disabilities and the LGBTQ+ community.
Main duties of the job
First and foremost, it is to establish and deliver the IBPS within the Sheffield HCCC. Following the Infected Blood Inquiry interim report, NHS England commissioned this psychological service across England for people affected.
Your role would be to lead and provide this service within Sheffield HCCC and liaise with your counterparts across the country. The service will support people infected and affected family members including those bereaved. There is an existing psychology service within Haematology and this post will provide clinical leadership to this team and associated service areas. It is likely that the role will evolve as the IBPS becomes established.
About us
You will be working for an organisation which values and respects all of its staff and the community it serves. The Trust is a leader in the NHS and research sectors and provides excellent benefits for its staff. This includes commitments to professional development but also many policies to support employees in balancing their personal and professional lives.
As a member of the department, you would be part of a substantial, experienced, and enthusiastic team; benefitting from inhouse professional development including clinical supervision, special interest groups and opportunities to engage in our wider projects. (Attached documents provide more information).
The department is committed to supporting our staff and have a well-supported Staff Engagement and Wellbeing Group. The Trust has a flexible working policy, allowing for a range of flexible / hybrid working options as appropriate to the service needs.
As a dynamic department, we have seen considerable growth in recent years and have a portfolio of new service developments. Continuing professional development is strongly supported, as appropriate to the individual's and organisation's requirements.
The department has strong links with Sheffield, Leeds and Hull DClinPsy courses, and local DCounsPsy courses.
