Applications are invited to join the Psychology Service in Infection & Immunity at Barts Health NHS Trust.
We would like to recruit an experienced HCPC-registered Practitioner Psychologist who has specialist interests and skills in psychology as applied to HIV and sexual health. The primary purpose of this post is to provide psychological support to patients from our three HIV clinics across East London. Working in a specialist clinic that serves the needs of those who are ‘lost to follow up’ due to a lack of engagement will be expected. The post also involves working in our sexual health and psychosexual services, which are based in Whitechapel and Stratford.
This work will largely take place at Royal London Hospital, Whitechapel. Some amount of remote working will be possible, but most of the work will be patient-facing.
The Psychology Service enjoys good close working relationships with the multi-disciplinary teams in Infection & Immunity. We are an energetic and supportive team offering excellent professional support, supervision and CPD. There is a wealth of specialist clinical expertise, and the service has an active audit, research and teaching programme. There are also close links with North London Clinical Psychology training courses and Queen Mary Medical School.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
