Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital
Clinical Psychologist - Paediatrics
The closing date is 30 September 2025
Job summary
Fixed term contract/ secondment opportunity until 31/03/2026
We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic Clinical Psychologist to join our supportive Paediatric psychology team to serve the needs of young people and their families with acute and long-term health conditions. This is an exciting opportunity to join a vibrant, friendly and supportive psychology team in the Paediatric Department at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital. We have Clinical Psychologists working in the Paediatric specialties of Diabetes, NICU, Epilepsy, Rheumatology, Gastroenterology and Childhood Obesity; with ambition to expand.
We are seeking a psychologist to work within several paediatric specialties, including paediatric epilepsy. This is a fixed-term position and the funding for this post ends on the 31/3/26 and cannot be extended.
Although this is a band 8A post, we are open to newly qualified psychologists at a band 7. Newly qualified staff who are yet to be HCPC registered will be temporarily appointed at Band 6. Experience in Paediatrics is desirable but not absolutely necessary, and a passion for working with children, young people and their families is essential.
Main duties of the job
The post will include work with children, young people and their families on psychological issues, such as the impact of the health condition and the challenges associated with managing this. This will include outpatient and inpatient assessment and therapy for families, as well as offering advice, consultation and training to the wider team. Being a strong team player is essential, working well as an integrated part of different multidisciplinary teams, consisting of medical consultants, specialist nurses, dieticians and physiotherapists. The post will require communication in a skilled and sensitive manner with both families and the wider MDT.
We welcome any interested applicants to contact us to find out more about this role and ask applicants to specify on their application if there are particular hours per week that you are interested in working. Interviews for this post will be held in the afternoon of 14 August 2025.
