The role will be predominantly based within the Memory Clinic, undertaking specialist neuropsychological assessment of older adults with cognitive concerns. This includes contributing to differential diagnosis, formulation and multidisciplinary diagnostic decision-making, and providing feedback and recommendations to patients, families, and the wider clinical team.

The post-holder will also provide psychological assessment, formulation, and intervention within community and inpatient MHSOP services, working with older adults with functional and organic mental health difficulties, alongside providing consultation and advice to colleagues, carers, and other professionals.
The post-holder will contribute to multidisciplinary working, provide clinical supervision where appropriate, and participate in audit, service evaluation, and the ongoing development of the MHSOP Psychology service.
