4 weeks ago
Job summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a qualified Clinical Psychologist to join our expanding team providing psychological care for people with sickle cell disorder and other rare anaemias. The psychology service is a valued part of a multi-disciplinary team providing hospital-based care for people with sickle cell disorder and other anaemias, including haematology doctors, nurses, and other allied health professionals. We are looking to expand the range of psychological care we are able to provide, and the successful candidate will have the opportunity to establish new aspects of the role, including a focus on adolescent transition to adult care, and supporting service users in the community, all with the support and guidance of the lead psychologist.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will be based primarily at Hammersmith Hospital, a regional hub providing specialist services for adults with disorders affecting red blood cells. There will be occasional need to travel to St. Mary's Hospital, where the main paediatric sickle cell service is located, to assist with adolescents transitioning to adult care, as well as travel as needed for community outreach. The work will involve meeting with service users individually and in groups, providing specialist psychological assessment, support and intervention/therapy. Much of the work with service users will involve helping people manage symptoms or complications related to their condition (, pain), and addressing social, emotional and occupational challenges of having a long term health condition (, relationships, trauma, education and employment). Service users crucially need to maintain an adequate relationship with healthcare providers, and the psychologist serves as adviser, educator and advocate, working with both service users and staff.
About us
The post holder will be employed by CNWL as a member of the clinical health psychology department, a team of clinical and counselling psychologists, assistant psychologists and trainees, providing psychological intervention and support to various health services within Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust (ICHNT). The post holder will benefit from weekly didactic discussions, line management and clinical supervision. The post holder will separately be embedded within the red cell haematology service, a multi-disciplinary team of haematology doctors, nurses and other allied health professionals, at ICHNT, who work collaboratively to provide comprehensive, holistic care to people with red cell disorders.
The successful applicant may have contact with patients or service users. As an NHS Trust we strongly encourage and support vaccination as this remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients and service users when working on our healthcare settings.
