    Description

    We are delighted to advertise this exciting new post working with patients undergoing Blood Stem Cell Transplant and the clinical team within the Haematology Psychology Service at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals Foundation Trust (STHFT).

    We aim to attract a committed, diverse, and talented workforce who are passionate about delivering psychological care within an acute hospital setting and adapting approaches to meet the needs of our services and service users. In return, we offer a supportive, dynamic work setting where you can link with colleagues and develop your career.

    As a department, we recognise that diversity of workforce extends our skills, experiences, and ideas, thereby adding value and creativity to our services. The department has an active Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) group and welcome applications from candidates from all backgrounds. We particularly encourage applications from people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, those with disabilities and the LGBTQ+ community. In our latest staff survey, 95% of staff report feeling valued and cared for and that their role makes a difference.

    Main duties of the job This post will work into the Clinical Haematology team based at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital which cares for patients undergoing stem cell transplant (SCT) for both malignant blood cancer diseases or non-malignant disease.

    The post is a pilot service providing specialist input to improve and maintain patients' wellbeing and engagement with SCT treatment at all stages of the commissioned clinical pathway.

    This includes pre SCT screening, assessments and intervention if needed, support as inpatients during SCT and post-transplant psychological support and care.

    The role of the SCT psychotherapist therefore involves specialist assessment, treatment, planning, screening, implementation and monitoring of outcomes with patients and potentially their families and carers.

    The post holder would be an integrated member of the SCT MDT, contributing a psychological perspective to patient care at all stages of the patient pathway.

    Working with patients and team members, there is potential to have a far-reaching positive impact both directly and indirectly, making a huge difference to outcomes and quality of life for patients requiring a bone marrow transplant.

The Trust is a leader in the NHS and research sectors and provides excellent benefits for its staff. This includes commitments to professional development but also many policies to support employees in balancing their personal and professional lives.

    As a member of the department, you would be part of a substantial, experienced, and enthusiastic team benefitting from inhouse professional development including clinical supervision, special interest groups and opportunities to engage in our wider projects. The department is committed to supporting our staff and have a well-supported Staff Engagement and Wellbeing Group. The Trust has a flexible working policy, allowing for a range of flexible / hybrid working options as appropriate to the service needs. The attached document outlines our department strategy.

    As a dynamic department, we have seen considerable growth in recent years and have a portfolio of new service developments. Continuing professional development is strongly supported, as appropriate to the individual's and organisation's requirements.

    The department has strong links with the Sheffield, Leeds and Hull DClinPsy courses. We also offer placements to trainees on DCounsPsy courses. Job description Job responsibilities Please view the attached Job Description and Person Specification documents for full details regarding this post.
