Job Description

This permanent, part-time (22.5 hrs) band 7 Clinical Psychologist position would suit someone looking to develop their skills in neuro-rehabilitation.

The post involves providing an outpatient service to patients with acquired brain injury, including cognitive assessment/rehabilitation and therapeutic input. The work is varied with regular opportunities for joint working and would suit someone who enjoys working closely with a team. The team includes two Clinical Psychologists; specialist neuropsychology supervision is available.

The post-holder will be part of a supportive multi-disciplinary team in which psychology is well-established.
