Macmillan Clinical/Counselling Psychologist Band 8A Full time (37.5 hrs) (Band 7 to 8A preceptorship available)
|
|
The University Hospitals of Northamptonshire NHS Group is delighted to be working in partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support and the East Midlands Cancer Alliance to increase the psychological support for people living with cancer. We are looking to recruit two committed, compassionate, and enthusiastic clinical/counselling or health psychologists to join the psycho-oncology services – one post to be based at Northampton General Hospital and one post to be based at Kettering General Hospital. The Macmillan clinical psychology services provide a specialist (level IV) clinical psychology service to adult (18 +) patients who have been diagnosed with cancer and who are experiencing complex psychological difficulties relating to any aspect of their diagnosis or treatment. Our services take a compassionate, holistic and patient-centred approach, and are committed to offering a flexible and responsive service to cancer patients at all stages of the cancer pathway. |

This role offers the opportunity for a mix of face-to-face and virtual outpatient sessions, as well as some inpatient work. The service is well regarded and highly valued by the cancer teams within the hospitals, consistently receiving extremely positive feedback from patients. The post-holders will contribute to all aspects of the service, including direct clinical work with patients, supporting the delivery of supervision, consultation and teaching to the level two practitioners, as well as providing support to other staff within oncology/haematology services as appropriate. The post holder will work closely with the Service Leads and will have creative opportunities to contribute to the future development of the service.
The successful candidates will ideally have some relevant post-qualification experience. However, we would welcome applications from newly qualified psychologists who would be appointed on a band 7 preceptorship basis, with a development plan in place to support them to working towards an 8a role. Some experience of working with people with cancer or in a health psychology setting would be valuable, but not essential, although you will be expected to have an understanding of the relationship between physical health conditions and emotional wellbeing. |

Although the Northamptonshire Psycho-oncology Service itself is a relatively small team, you would also be joining a well-established regional network of psychologists working within the East Midlands Cancer Alliance, which offers opportunities for peer supervision as well as collaboration with regard to strategic regional service development. As a Macmillan professional, you will have access to the added support and resources offered by Macmillan Cancer Support, including specialist opportunities for training, development and networking with other Macmillan professionals across the UK.

Travel across the county may be required in order to attend supervision, clinical governance and CPD events so a driving licence and access to a vehicle insured for business purposes would be advantageous.
