Summary
We have an excellent opportunity for an Assistant Psychologist to join our well-established Department of Adult Psychological Professions to support delivery of psychological input to the Maxillofacial Department, St George’s Hospital.
The Maxillofacial Department at St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is the central hub of the southwest London Maxillofacial Network and is recognised as a Centre of Excellence, providing specialist services not available at other local hospitals.
The service preference for working days is Mondays and Tuesdays.
The Psychology service in the Maxillofacial Department delivers specialist psychological support service for adults presenting within the department. The overall aim of specialist psychological support service is to reduce the emotional distress and functional impact associated with facial trauma, facial deformity, facial surgery and orofacial pain (temporomandibular joint disorders). The Psychology service offers outpatient work directly with patients and their families, as well as providing staff consultation and training. The Assistant Psychologist would support this work through a range of clinically focused activities including designing and delivering psychoeducation materials, offering focused CBT interventions and implementing routine screening for distress.
With nearly 9,000 dedicated staff caring for patients around the clock, they are the largest healthcare provider in southwest London.
Their main site, St George’s Hospital in Tooting – one of the country’s principal teaching hospitals – is shared with St George’s, University of London, which trains medical students and carries out advanced medical research. St George’s Hospital also hosts the St George’s, University of London and Kingston University Faculty of Health and Social Care Sciences, which is responsible for training a wide range of healthcare professionals from across the region.
As well as acute hospital services, they provide a wide variety of specialist care and a full range of community services to patients of all ages following integration with Community Services Wandsworth in 2010.
St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust serves a population of 1.3 million across southwest London. A large number of services, such as cardiothoracic medicine and surgery, neurosciences and renal transplantation, also cover significant populations from Surrey and Sussex, totalling around 3.5 million people.
The trust also provides care for patients from a larger catchment area in southeast England, for specialties such as complex pelvic trauma. Other services treat patients from all over the country, such as family HIV care and bone marrow transplantation for non-cancer diseases. The trust also provides a nationwide state-of-the-art endoscopy training centre.
