Clinical Psychologist - 8A - Fixed Term 12 months - Maternity Cover - 30 Hours
The post is based in the Stockport Community Neuro Rehab team (CNRS). We are an innovative team who are focused on working with people who have a range of neurological presentations, including stroke, life limiting conditions, head injuries, and functional neurological disorders. We are seeking a psychologist with experience of working with this client population, who is passionate about excellent patient care and promoting psychological understanding and support in an interdisciplinary setting.
Applications are welcome from both current band 7/8a and newly qualified psychologists. Psychologists in the team offer assessment, formulation and treatment for patients, working closely with occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech and language and nursing colleagues to form an MDT provision. Your role will be to provide psychologically informed support through individual and group-based clinical work as well as supporting the team through consultation and team formulation.
A successful applicant would deliver psychological provision within the Community Neurorehabilitation service here in Stockport NHS Trust, an integrated community stroke and neurorehabilitation team. The post-holder will enjoy a broad and stimulating range of clinical work, both directly with service users and their carers/families and indirectly through consultation, training, supervision and service development. Given the breadth of the service, an excellent range of neurorehabilitation experience will be available (including acquired brain injuries, progressive and degenerative conditions and functional neurological disorders). To be employed at an 8A level, it is expected that you will have completed at least one year of the Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) in Clinical Neuropsychology. We would also be happy to receive applications from clinicians without this level of experience but, if successful, they would be appointed on as a Band 7.
