Paid Clinical Experience Opportunities for Disadvantaged Aspiring Clinical Psychologists-Cambridge University Hospital (CUH) Medical Haematology Service
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT) is looking for a number of candidates for Assistant Psychologist roles, working part-time (3 days a week) for a fixed term of 6 months. This is part of the Health Education England provision for Paid Opportunities for Aspiring Clinical Psychologists.
Heath Education England (HEE) plans to improve equity of access and inclusion for entrants to Clinical Psychology training for groups who are currently under-represented. Part of the NHS Long Term Plan is to improve diversity in the workforce to better represent the users that it supports. These posts, funded by Health Education England, are intended to give opportunities to develop initial clinical experience for aspiring clinical psychologists who would otherwise be excluded from entering the profession through unpaid work experience ( from voluntary or honorary Assistant Psychologist roles).
To fulfil the ambitions of these posts to expand representativeness, we are seeking applicants who may be disadvantaged in entering the profession because they are unable to take the financial burden of an unpaid role to gain experience that is needed to further their career.
Please see application guidance for more details.
We may close the vacancy early if we receive a high number of applicants.
