Crynodeb
A Vacancy at South West London and St George's Mental Health NHS Trust.
We are looking to recruit a clinical/counselling psychologist or CBT therapist who will work within our Neuropsychiatry Service.
The Neuropsychiatry Service is an outpatient regional service at St George’s Hospital that provides assessment and treatment for adults over the age of 18 with neurological illness or head injuries who have associated psychiatric problems. The service is closely allied to the regional neuroscience centre based at the Atkinson Morley Wing of St. George’s Hospital, serving South West London, Surrey and parts of West Sussex. The team includes consultant neuropsychiatrists, neuropsychiatry and neurology trainees, a specialty doctor, a specialist nurse, and clinical psychologists.
This service offers assessment and treatment for patients with:
• Psychiatric and psychological consequences of neurological conditions, e.g. stroke, head injury, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis or movement disorders.
• Functional neurological disorders including somatoform and dissociative or conversion disorders, e.g. functional seizures, functional movement disorders.
• Organic psychiatric illness, e.g. early onset dementia, schizophreniform disorders with organic brain changes.
• “Grey zone” disorders which straddle neurology and psychiatry, difficult to diagnose or various rare syndromes.
We are looking for a clinical or counselling psychologist or CBT therapist interested in offering specialist psychological therapy for patients diagnosed with functional neurological disorder (FND); as well as to patients diagnosed with a neurological condition who are experiencing associated mental health difficulties. The main therapies offered are CBT and and EMDR. Other modalities are also used less frequently. Experience of working with patients who present with these difficulties is desirable, but not essential. Specialist clinical supervision would be provided.
About the location:
The service is based at St. George’s Hospital, Tooting. The hospital is accessible via public transport (nearest train station is Tooting, nearest tube station is Tooting Broadway, multiple bus routes). The service also operates remotely.
We are Proud to Belong at South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust.
We have expert services, a rich history and a clear commitment to providing the best quality care for those with mental ill-health. The Care Quality Commission already rates our services as ‘good’ - we aspire to be ‘outstanding’.
This is a great time to join us. We are transforming the way we care for our communities to support our mission of Making Life Better Together. We have built two brand new mental health facilities at Springfield University Hospital, which are amongst the best in the world. More developments are planned across our sites and services.
We are inclusive and diverse and strive to be actively anti racist. We want to attract people from all backgrounds and experiences to enrich the work we do together. We are proud to co-produce and involve our local communities in all that we do.
We offer flexible working, career development and a variety of benefits to enable a positive, welcoming environment in which our people and their careers can thrive.
If you are relocating from outside London for this post, we can offer financial support with relocation costs.
Come and join our inclusive teams and help our patients on their recovery journey.
