Clinical Psychologist - RB Stroke Rehabilitation - Band 8a
The Redbridge Stroke & Neuro Rehabilitation Service and Barking and Dagenham/Havering Community Rehabilitation Service together with the NELFT Neuropsychology Pathway is pleased to advertise a vacancy for a permanent Band 8a Clinical Psychologist. The post-holder would join two established rehabilitation multidisciplinary teams for one day a week per team (2 x 0.2 WTE - total 15 hours) and be supervised by a Senior Clinical Neuropsychologist and line managed by Service Manager.
The teams operate out of three bases, Cranbrook and Loxford (IG1 1HP) for Redbridge, and both Porters Avenue Health Centre (RM8 2EQ) and Yew Tree Resource Centre (RM7 9AA) for the B&D/Havering team. The teams currently offer a blended approach to delivering rehabilitation which includes remote working and home visits. The successful candidate would ideally be available for Redbridge work on a Tuesday (negotiable) and for B&D/Havering any day can be accommodated except Fridays.
Main duties of the job
The post-holder will be responsible for delivering timely psychological care after stroke and other neurological conditions using a stepped care model with an emphasis on MDT working and neuropsychological consultation. This varied and diverse role includes undertaking cognitive and mood screening, MDT joint working, specialist psychological and neuropsychological assessment, delivery of psychological and neuropsychological interventions as well as teaching and training. There will be opportunities for innovative cross-borough collaborative service delivery such as running virtual groups with both Redbridge and B&D/Havering participants.
In terms of the wider professional network, the post holder would link with the NELFT Neuropsychology Pathway and be invited to both quarterly Stroke Forum and quarterly Neuropsychology Forum as part of ongoing CPD and networking. CPD to support skill development in neurorehabilitation would be actively encouraged and support and advice around career progression in neuropsychology is available through the supervisory relationship.
