The post holder will work with a number of multidisciplinary adult oncology teams, providing level 3 and 4 interventions in line with the service model recommended by NICE for the provision of psychological care to people with cancer. Providing supervision, training and opportunities for continuing professional development to the level two practitioners will be a key part of the role, as well as providing support to other staff within oncology services and the wider hospital as appropriate. The post holder will be expected to support the delivery and strategic development of cancer services, working alongside other professionals and the East Midlands Cancer Network to implement the Improving Outcomes Guidance recommendations in relation to the provision of psychological support.
