Summary
A Vacancy at Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust.
To provide a qualified specialist service to children and young people with sickle cell disorder within north west London. The post holder will work autonomously within professional guidelines and the overall framework of the service’s policies and procedures. The primary role is to provide community-based psychological assessment and treatment to service users and their families.
The post holder will provide advice and consultation to other members of the sickle cell community service MDT, under the supervision of lead psychologist for the sickle cell psychology service. The post holder may provide performance management supervision to trainees and less experienced professionals where appropriate and where identified in their Personal Development Plan.
The successful applicant may have contact with patients or service users. As an NHS Trust we strongly encourage and support vaccination as this remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients and service users when working on our healthcare settings.
We are seeking for an enthusiastic and confident clinical or counselling psychologist with the ability provide high quality evidence-based interventions and service improvements for service users based in the community.
The service user group is predominantly of black African and Afro-Caribbean heritage, and we welcome applicants who are skilled at working within the richness and complexity of a multiculturally diverse context.
The successful applicant will be joining a multi-disciplinary team of allied health professionals that aims to better provide comprehensive care to service users by moving the focus of care away from hospital-based inpatient admissions.
Your role will involve developing and delivering a psychology service with the aim of supporting the broader needs of people with sickle cell disorder in the community. This may be directed towards improving service users' ability to self-manage their symptoms, attend outpatient appointments, adhere to medication schedules or treatment plans, and make behaviour changes in support of the aims of the community MDT. Supervision training will be provided where required.
In this post, you will be employed by Central & North West London NHS Foundation Trust (CNWL). Service users are under the care of Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust (ICHT) and/or London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust (LNWT). You will be contracted to work for ICHT and have a reciprocal agreement to work with LNWT.
There’s a place for you at CNWL.
We’re passionate about delivering first-class patient-centred, safe and effective care, whether it is in a hospital setting, in a community clinic or in the patient’s own home. Patients are at the heart of everything we do.
Providing top quality care depends on our ability to employ the best people.
We’re always looking to recruit outstanding people who will go the extra mile to support our patients, colleagues, teams and the Trust. With every new employee we’re hoping to find our future leaders and we’ll support our staff by providing opportunities to develop your career.
With a diverse culture and equally diverse range of opportunities across mental health, community services, addictions, eating disorders, learning disabilities and more – whatever stage of your career you're at, there's always a place for you at CNWL.

• To provide clinical supervision and consultation as appropriate, functioning as a specialist in psychological services for sickle cell disorder.
• To work as an autonomous professional within BPS and HCPC guidelines and codes of conduct and guided by principles and policies or procedures of the service, taking responsibility for interpreting policies within defined parameters.
