Clinical Psychologist | West London NHS Trust

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and committed individual to join our Clinical Health Psychology and Neuropsychology team. The department is based at Charing Cross teaching hospital and provides services to the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust (ICHT).

This post has been created as part of the continued development of the ICHT stroke services, which builds on our existing input into the Hyperacute and Acute Stroke Units. You will join two existing stroke psychologists to further develop the psychology input into the stroke wards.

This post provides opportunities for service development, staff consultation and training, and research and audit, as well as for direct clinical assessment and intervention. While the majority of the role involves inpatient work, the post offers the opportunity to be involved in an innovative outpatient follow-up clinic, which affords opportunities to provide comprehensive neuropsychological assessment and/or psychological interventions.

There are strong links to psychologists working in other parts of the stroke pathway including on a specialist neurorehabilitation ward, in community neurorehabilitation teams, and in outpatient settings, which provides opportunities for collaboration and shared learning. There is an active departmental CPD programme to support learning.

We are looking to recruit an HCPC-registered, clinical psychologist/neuropsychologist with existing experience of working in a directly relevant area.
