Join to apply for the Consultant Clinical Psychologist role at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
This is a consultant level post, which will specifically provide input to the pain management psychology pathways and which, therefore, requires extensive clinical experience in pain management, as well as broader physical health and rehabilitation psychology.
You will provide operational leadership to the inpatient and outpatient pathways for pain management psychology alongside direct clinical input, whilst also providing consultation and MDT support across the wider pain integrated service.
The post holder will also be a core member of the consultant leadership team in CHPS and will support the Head of Service and colleagues with the strategic development of the service, providing clinical leadership and line management within the service.
We are looking for an enthusiastic practitioner who is a confident and flexible individual to work with patients experiencing complex psychological and physical health challenges.
We welcome applications from highly skilled, experienced and compassionate clinical psychologists who are keen to work in pain psychology to develop the evidence base and be part of a dynamic clinical health psychology service.
Please note: the interviews for this role are expected to be on the 7th July 2025.
Your role will involve developing highly specialised clinical health psychology pathways for patients living with persistent pain based on NICE guidelines and Core Standards in pain management. Additionally, you will be responsible for providing teaching, training, supervision and support for MDT colleagues in order to support the delivery of psychologically informed care.
Collaboration is a critical aspect of this role. You will work closely with the psychology colleagues, MDT colleagues, and key stakeholders, such as those within the Clinical Business Unit and Core Therapy colleagues. As a consultant psychologist, you will bring demonstrable leadership skills and experience at a similar or higher level, meeting the demands of the role with a commitment to excellence.
There is an expectation for you to undertake extended roles and responsibilities within the Clinical Health Psychology Services and to work flexibly across the services as required and directed by the Head of the Clinical Health Psychology Services.
You will ensure the delivery of high quality patient care and experience in line with the Trusts’ and relevant departmental strategic objectives. The post holder will also provide managerial support and professional leadership to members of the psychology team working across a range of physical health specialities, and as directed by the Head of Service.
We have 10,000 fantastic people working hard to deliver quality services to our patients. Whatever your role, you help look after 370,000 people in our local area & give specialist care to 1.5 million people across Lancashire & Cumbria.
Working with us gives you the knowledge and sense of pride that every activity you do genuinely does make a difference to support our patients & staff, ensuring we keep thriving & delivering outstanding healthcare right across our local towns.
You’ll have access to varied development opportunities, learn new skills, meet fab people & do things you’d never have done.
You’ll make an impact, be challenged to think differently, be bold & help innovate to keep improving things. Everything we do centres around patient care and enhancing their experience which means your role is pivotal and something really to be proud of.
