Clinical Psychologist - Maternity Leave Cover
Interested in developing a career in Clinical Health Psychology, a rewarding job with a great team with potential to do research?
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a clinical psychologist to join the expanding team at the National Spinal Injuries Centre (NSIC) and develop clinical skills of working in rehabilitation with inpatients across the lifespan. This is a 6-month fixed term maternity leave cover (with the possibility to extend). The NSIC team consists of clinical psychologists, a psychological therapist and family counsellor, administrator and assistant psychologists and leads national and international clinically based research.
Applications
Applications are encouraged from those currently employed as a Band 7 Clinical Psychologist (or equivalent HCPC registered psychological practitioners).
- Required working days would be Monday to Friday.
- We would also consider applications from those preferring a part-time / job share position to apply.
Clinical Interventions
Clinical interventions include individual CBT, ACT and mindfulness-based therapy, neuropsychological rehabilitation and specific condition interventions such as for chronic pain. The post will involve close working with non-psychology colleagues from across the MDT. A systematic rehabilitation approach facilitating self-management skills is core to our provision, with the team leading the renowned Stoke Mandeville Spinal Needs Assessment and Goal Planning Programme (finalist for HSJ in 2016).
