The post is offered at a band 7 or 8a (dependent on experience) with the potential for progression from band 7 to 8a through a competency-based gateway (preceptorship).
The posts give the opportunity to join teams that value the contribution that psychology brings to their work. The Psychologists who work across our service value the variety that working within Psycho-oncology can bring and enjoy using a broad range of knowledge and skills to provide therapy for those presenting with mental health difficulties related to their cancer situation and care.
The post is line managed through a robust Psychology structure and offers great opportunities to develop a specialist area of Psychological expertise whilst working therapeutically, such as individual therapy, group work and supervision skills.

Our 350+ strong Psychology Division has a strong focus on staff wellbeing, is keen to support and develop research activities, and is leading the Trust’s development of trauma-informed approaches.
