Summary
A Vacancy at Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust.
The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust is a specialist trust with a focus on training and education alongside a full range of mental health and Gender services.
No specific specialty training is required to fulfil the clinical role. Individuals from a variety of medical or psychiatric backgrounds may have knowledge and skills relevant to the role, such as psychiatric or psychosexual assessment, hormonal management of endocrine disorders and menopause or experience in sexual and reproductive health and genitourinary medicine.
There is recognition that a successful candidate may not have the full breadth of knowledge and expertise required to fulfil the clinical role initially, especially if they have not worked in a gender identity clinic in the past. If this was the case, a period of induction and additional support from colleagues would be available. On-going peer support is available from the consultants in the team.
We are keen to hear from a trainee practitioner psychologist who is in the final year of the training before gaining HCPC registration. We are offering a twelve-month preceptorship program for candidates who can demonstrate that they are close to completing their doctorate and attaining their registration. Upon HCPC registration as a practitioner psychologist you will then move into the Band 7 role.

The post-holder is required to provide assistance to people with gender dysphoria or diversity. This will involve utilising psychological principles and approaches in assessment, diagnosis and management of gender dysphoria or diversity.
The postholder will need to work closely with the multidisciplinary team and be familiar with medical as well as psychological models. There is an expectation for the postholder to engage in research and ongoing continuing professional development.
