About the Role
We are pleased to offer an exciting opportunity to join the largest paediatric psychology service in the UK. The postholder will join dynamic and supportive clinical psychology teams attached to the Specialist Health Conditions Stream (covering Urology, Neurology, Dermatology, Gastroenterology, Endocrinology and Rheumatology) and the Pain Service. The postholder will work with the multidisciplinary teams in these areas and provide specialist psychological assessment and intervention to children and their families.
The successful candidate will join a supportive team of psychologists working across these medical specialties whilst also being able to access the learning and opportunities that come with being part of a large psychology service at a leading children’s hospital.
About Clinical Psychology
Clinical Psychology is a highly valued profession within each multi-disciplinary team helping to optimise care by working with patients, their families and the MDT who are struggling with procedural fear, treatment adherence, decision-making, pain management and co-morbid mental health difficulties (e.g. anxiety and depression), as well as supporting staff wellbeing in a busy medical environment. The postholder will also be a part of innovative individual, group and social interventions designed to support children and families managing illness-related stigma, supporting young people to function despite their symptoms, and develop independent identities that incorporate their health condition.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Opportunities for Development
The postholder will have opportunities to develop supervision, teaching and training skills with our large team of pre-qualification psychologists including trainee clinical psychologists. The postholder will have opportunities to develop research skills by participating in the ongoing programme of quality improvement and research projects in conjunction with UCL Institute of Child Health, the largest concentration of child health research outside of North America.
The postholder will be encouraged to engage with ongoing professional development opportunities with clinical special interest groups such as ACT, medical trauma, cognitive assessment and medically unexplained symptoms and through the Institute of Child Health and GOSH Learning Academy.
There is a national specialist interest group for pain and rheumatology that the post holder would be part of and there are opportunities to both attend and present in conferences for both medical specialties.
Diversity and Inclusion
We are keen to make our workforce as diverse as the communities we serve, and we hope to attract applications from underrepresented groups, including people with Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic heritage, people with a disability, and people from LGBTQ+ communities. By growing an ever more diverse workforce, we’ll have a greater range of perspectives and knowledge, meaning that we can provide the children and young people at our hospital with even better care.
