Description

This is an exciting new role that involves working within a team of psychologists, with a team base, as well as working with medical MDTs.

The role allows the successful applicant to gain experience working within the general medical service alongside the chance to gain more specialist skills.

All aspects of these roles involve working with teams of clinical psychologists, therefore are very supportive and well-supervised.

We are a well-established psychology department and we are in the fortunate position of receiving recent funding for a number of new positions, which has led to this new role being created.

We are very flexible, happy to offer job share/less sessions, if required. The role can also be adapted to both band 7 and 8a psychologists.

Despite the apparent specialist nature of the post it offers an opportunity to use all the transferrable skills gained through training, in a rewarding setting.

It also offers a really diverse and interesting post.

There is also an emphasis on encouraging psychologists to pursue a range of CPD to further develop their skills. As a team we meet regularly for case presentations, clinical governance and business meetings. We also have a monthly peer group meeting and regular time-out to enable reflection and service development. We have a team base at Leicester General Hospital, although also work at Leicester Royal Infirmary and Glenfield Hospital.
