Exciting Opportunity in Paediatric Psychosocial Service
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a large and established team within the Paediatric Psychosocial Service, working into the Cystic Fibrosis and General Medicine teams (0.7wte) within the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, part of Manchester University Hospitals NHS Trust and 0.1 wte (one day a fortnight) working with the Cystic Fibrosis Team at Stepping Hill Hospital as part of a Service Level Agreement. Management and supervision for this role comes from the Paediatric Psychosocial Service at RMCH.
About the Paediatric Psychosocial Service
The Paediatric Psychosocial Service is well regarded in the Trust and close relationships exist with our colleagues in paediatric (and indeed adult) medical specialities. The Service also sits within a wider CAMHS Division and within the Acute Trust, so is well supported and connected with other Children’s Mental Health Services in Manchester, Salford and Trafford.
We are keen to promote innovative practice, as well as specialist psychological assessment and intervention. Across the service we work with hospital inpatients and outpatients, with face-to-face as well as online/virtual modalities. We offer patient groups, consultation groups and psychosocial forums with other medical specialties, and actively contribute to the wider Trust Schwartz Round programme.
