Assistant Psychologist (full-time, fixed term 3 months)
We are seeking to appoint an Assistant Psychologist to join the Neuropsychological evaluation and rehabilitation in multiple sclerosis (NEuRoMS) project (www.neuroms.org). This is an NIHR-funded project that aims to develop and evaluate a cognitive screening pathway for people with multiple sclerosis (MS), and a neuropsychological rehabilitation programme for people with MS with mild or moderate cognitive problems.
The successful applicant will be based at the Royal London Hospital, Neuroscience Day Case Unit (Ward 11D) London, and will join an established multi-disciplinary team of clinical researchers. However, the post-holder will be expected to work remotely the majority of the time.
This is an exciting opportunity for candidates who wish to learn about clinical research, and also deliver clinical services as part of the project. The post holder will work as part of a multi-disciplinary MS team. They will be responsible for:
- Supporting people with MS to complete cognitive screening online or on a tablet, and producing a report
- Delivering a manualised cognitive rehabilitation intervention for people with MS with mild or moderate cognitive problems
- Providing rehabilitation face-to-face, over MS Teams/Zoom or telephone
