We will support you to develop as a clinician, with specialist supervision and training opportunities and as a clinical leader, through management and clinical supervision, and access to training and development opportunities within and outside of the Trust.

Our service provides holistic and compassionate interventions to people with Chronic Pain, working as a team with our multidisciplinary colleagues. Third wave CBT therapies (ACT/CFT/Mindfulness) are at the heart of our approach. The successful postholder will be involved in our RESTORE group pain management programme, as well as individual therapy, and a range of other activities including teaching and consultation, service development and evaluation. We have strong links with the Salomans Clinical Psychology training programme, and supervision of trainees forms part of this post.

We support flexible working, and are willing to consider applications for part-time (30 hours or over) or full time work in this post.

This role is based at Queen Mary's Hospital, Sidcup, with on-site parking, as well as clinics running in Erith Medical Centre.

The Psychology service leads the provision of the interdisciplinary group Pain Management Programme RESTORE in addition to providing individual treatment for clients and carers where appropriate. We are looking for a candidate who is enthusiastic regarding the role of psychology in physical health and has an active and committed approach to innovative service provision. There are exciting opportunities for development of various virtual and in-person group therapies, fully supported by the service lead who is committed to staff development. The established service focuses on third wave cognitive therapies, thus candidates with further training in Mindfulness therapies and ACT / CFT are encouraged.

The role is suitable for a band 7 psychologist wanting to develop their competencies in leadership to move to a band 8a position, and this will be fully supported by supervision and training within the team.
