Crynodeb

We are delighted to offer an opportunity to become part of our Cancer Psychological Service team as a Band 6 accredited counsellor or psychotherapist. We are a friendly team of Clinical Psychologists and a secretary, and the service was established in 2017. The successful candidate will join a rapidly expanding Clinical Health Psychology Department within Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust (CHFT).

We are recruiting to a 0.8 WTE post on a 12-month fixed-term contract. We strongly encourage interested candidates to contact us to discuss the role.

An interest in working with patients with physical health difficulties is essential, however we appreciate that cancer is a specialist area in which candidates may not have experience. Most importantly we require a willingness and enthusiasm to learn condition specific information, which we will support you with.

As a counsellor or psychotherapist in the Cancer Psychological Services team you will deliver a compassionate, high quality, time limited counselling/psychotherapy service to adult patients referred to Cancer Psychological Services in Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Trust. You will manage a caseload and maintain patient records. The role involves contributing to referral triage alongside others and working closely with the cancer multidisciplinary teams to support them in their psychological work with patients.

We are a growing Clinical Health Psychology Department that has good relationships across CHFT. We are committed to developing excellent quality care that aims to meet psychological needs of patients who are treated within CHFT. We develop services in a patient focused way and compassionate care is at the heart of our department. We actively encourage and support CPD, supervision, service-related audit and research. As a newly established department, there is significant scope to work creatively in the continuation of new trust wide developments and be part of shaping our culture.
