Job description

We are looking to appoint an assistant psychologist who will contribute to the psychological care of patients admitted to a 17 bed specialist inpatient neuro-rehabilitation unit. Patients are admitted to the BNRU with a range of neurological conditions including head injury and stroke. Rehabilitation is provided by a multi-disciplinary team who use goal planning to enable patients to work towards goals that are personally relevant, including in many cases, to return to their own home. Psychologists have a key role within this and help patients to cope with the emotional, cognitive and physical changes that can be associated with neurological conditions.

The role of the assistant psychologist will be to support qualified staff and provide psychological assessments and treatments under the supervision of a qualified psychologist.

This vacancy is for a part time position at 22.5 hours per week.

The main responsibility for the Assistant Psychologist is to support the work of Clinical Psychologists providing a specialist service to patients with
neurological conditions within the inpatient neurorehabilitation unit. Specifically, you will support and enhance the professional psychological care of patients within the service, providing psychological
assessment and psychological interventions under the supervision of a Clinical Psychologist. You will be working independently according to a plan agreed with a Clinical Psychologist and within the overall framework of the service’s policies and procedures. You will also assist in clinically related administration, conduct of audits, collection of statistics, development of audit and/or research projects, teaching and project work.

In this role, as well as working within a Clinical Psychology team, you will be part of a wider MDT of Physios, Occupational Therapists, SLT, Nurses and Doctors. The MDT works closely together to provide the best care for the patients on the unit. As part of this, you will be expected to liaise and work jointly with other professions. This is a very rewarding way of working and will help develop understanding of other roles as well as skills in integrated care.
