Summary
A Vacancy at Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.
The Pain Service is an award-winning psychology/therapy led interdisciplinary team providing high quality pain management services to people in Hackney living with persistent pain.
This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic clinical, counselling or health psychologist or CBT therapist, preferably with some experience of working with clients with long term health conditions, to join our dynamic and innovative team. The MDT consists of psychologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, nurse specialist, pharmacists and consultants working across both services.
We would welcome applications from both CBT therapists and psychologists about to complete clinical training in 2023 and, as a well established and resourced psychology team consisting of senior psychologists, can provide a supportive environment for CPD and skills development.

Psychological therapy is both highly valued and well-established within the teams and the successful applicant would work as a member of a team of psychologists who are skilled in a range of approaches including ACT, CBT, mindfulness and compassion focused approaches.
