Job overview
Full and Part time positions available for Band 8b Highly Specialist Clinical Psychologist Hull and East Riding – Neurodevelopmental Team.
We are currently seeking to recruit a motivated and enthusiastic Clinical Psychologist who has experience working with children with neurodiversity and histories of trauma.
In the Neurodevelopmental Service, you will join a busy team consisting of Nurses, Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists, Psychology, and Psychiatry.
This is an exciting time to be joining the service due to the extensive transformation work being undertaken by our service, developing a multi-agency approach to meet the needs of children with neurodiversity and their families. There is a commitment to ongoing staff training to enable practitioners to have accredited therapeutic and supervisory skills. We are also working towards having more participation from young people and their families in directing service development.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will have the opportunity to be part of the specialist assessments for neurodevelopmental conditions. The role will include providing supervision and consultation to MDT members, consultations to other professions and agencies alongside assessments of young people needing complex psychological formulation.
There will be opportunities to develop pathways within the assessment team. The post holder will join a small group of Psychologists in the team but will have access to a wider support network of child psychologists. There is an expectation that the role includes supervision of others, including trainee clinical psychologists.
