Psychologists

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced and qualified Principal Psychologist in neurorehabilitation to join us and help change the lives of people living with acquired brain injury (ABI). We are seeking a Principal Psychologist capable of ensuring the provision and development of high quality, innovative and evidence based neuropsychological rehabilitation practice.

Our assessment centres, rehabilitation units and hospitals use expert neurorehabilitation to support people to regain the skills they have lost. Rehabilitation is based on a neurobehavioral approach and focuses on enabling service users to function more independently and to participate in as many of their previous roles and activities as possible, while developing their lives with privacy, dignity and respect.

You will provide strategic, professional leadership to the multi-disciplinary rehabilitation team, which includes Assistant Psychologists, Rehabilitation Support Workers, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists and Speech and Language Therapists. Your responsibilities will include:

• Contributing highly specialist psychological advice to the multi-disciplinary formulation of appropriate therapeutic approaches or intervention plans, and supervising their implementation.
• Undertaking psychologically based risk assessment and risk management for relevant service users and advising team members appropriately.
• Supporting Service Managers/Regional Managers in all aspects of managing the service and reporting to the Consultant Clinical Neuropsychologist.

The successful applicant will have a doctorate in clinical psychology (or equivalent) accredited by the BPS. You will have excellent organisation skills, the ability to prioritise workloads, the ability to administer and interpret a range of psychometric tests, and a track record of conducting clinical research or audit. We are looking for a clinical psychologist with experience in neurorehabilitation, an interest in neuropsychology, and motivated to develop an excellent service further.
