Job Summary
The Community Brain Injury Service aim to work alongside people with brain injury to improve quality of life through provision of a high-quality multidisciplinary service with emphasis on an individualised, patient-centred goal planning approach. We are looking for a Clinical Psychologist who is passionate about working with people with brain injury to join our small team.
The role provides a variety of responsibilities with the team psychologists providing psychological therapy for mood related issues as well as specialist neuropsychological assessment/intervention and wider multidisciplinary work. Experience of working within brain injury rehabilitation or other neuropsychology services would be advantageous but not essential, although some experience of neuropsychological assessment is required. The post would be equally suitable for an enthusiastic candidate with an established background in psychological therapies who would like to further develop their skills in neuropsychology and neurorehabilitation. The desire to undertake further accredited training in Clinical Neuropsychology would be supported and we have been successful in obtaining funding for both the Knowledge and Practice dimensions of the QiCN over the last three years.
This is a band 8a role, but consideration will be given to candidates with less experience to work towards progressing from Band 7 to Band 8a through a preceptorship scheme with agreed development objectives over a specified period.
Main duties of the job
You will provide psychological and neuropsychological assessment as well as therapeutic interventions. The role provides the opportunity to work with varied conditions and clinical presentations including difficulties with mood, adjustment, cognitive impairment and changes in behaviour following brain injury. You will also be a source of psychological expertise within the wider MDT, supporting psychological formulation of service users' experiences. You will supervise an Assistant Psychologist and have the opportunity to supervise Trainee Clinical Psychologists.
We view continual development as key to providing the highest quality care. As a member of the team you will be encouraged to contribute to service development and to take forward new projects. You will also be part of the wider network of Psychologists who work in a variety of specialities in the Trust, providing access to a robust clinical governance structure as well as a varied program of CPD.
Due to the nature of the service and the geographical area covered, a full UK driving license and access to a vehicle for work purposes will be essential for this role.
