Overview
Are you a recently qualified (or soon to be qualified) Clinical Psychologist interested in working in physical health or neuropsychology? Are you looking for a supportive, friendly team to develop your neuropsychological assessment skills, with fantastic CPD opportunities within neuropsychology, clinical health and neurology pathways? Come and work with us at the Royal Free Hospital in leafy Hampstead, North London!
This role has arisen due to internal promotion of the current postholder, reflecting our values of growing expertise to better serve our communities now and in future. As well as outpatient work, there are opportunities for occasional work into inpatient settings, as well as to develop models for brief intervention within neurology pathways at RFL.
Responsibilities
* Provide neuropsychological assessment and brief interventions with people with congenital/developmental, acquired, progressive and degenerative conditions, often assisting with differential diagnosis or treatment planning.
* Design and deliver groups drawing on a range of therapeutic models to support adjustment and coping following neurological injury or diagnosis.
* Support the delivery of new service pathways within priority areas in neurology (e.g., headache, epilepsy).
* Deliver teaching and training sessions and contribute to clinical research within the department.
Team and Development
You will join a growing neuropsychology team at the Royal Free London NHS Hospitals Trust. Our ethos is for all team members to grow as clinicians and compassionate leaders, with wellbeing supported in life and work. We hold regular journal clubs and complex case discussions, and meet with the wider Psychological Professions- Adult Clinical Services (PP (ACS)) across the Royal Free. Clinical supervision is provided by experienced, senior Clinical Psychologists/Clinical Neuropsychologists, with funding and supervision available towards entry onto the Specialist Register of Clinical Neuropsychologists (SRCN). We have close links with the North Thames DClinPsy training courses, and encourage all colleagues to offer placements, mentorship and teaching as part of their CPD portfolio.
We emphasise a collaborative culture where clinicians have access to varied specialist supervision, line management and professional development. We welcome new staff who share our values of working together and supporting each other to join us in the PP (ACS) community.
Organisational Context
The Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust is one of the UK’s biggest and most innovative trusts. You will be embedded within the neuropsychology department and also belong to a group of over 40 PP (ACS) colleagues who work across medical specialties within the Trust (including Cancer & Palliative Care, Cardiology, Dermatology, Diabetes, HIV, ICU, Immunology and Rare Disease, Nephrology and Liver Transplantation, Neurology, Pain, Plastic Surgery, Respiratory, and Women’s Health).
Priorities for the PTNC leads include ensuring clinicians have the support necessary for their role, with access to varied specialist supervision, line management and professional development. They strive to create a PTNC community that encourages dialogue, learning from each other and mutual support, and showcasing good practice, innovation, and research.
