Summary
A Vacancy at University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a 12 month fixed term, full-time, maternity cover post as a specialist clinical or counselling psychologist within the UCLH Adult Cancer & Haematology Psychology & Psychotherapy Services. This is a 12 month maternity cover post within a large, established, friendly and innovative team of psychologists and psychotherapists working primarily across oncology and cancer services. Psychology provision is an integral part of UCLH’s world-class highly specialist multidisciplinary services: the Trust’s oncology, haematology and cancer care are at the forefront of specialist health care in the UK and internationally.
We are looking for a motivated, skilled and enthusiastic clinician who has clinical health psychology experience and a particular interest in the opportunity to work as part of a variety of multidisciplinary and multiprofessional teams. The post involves providing inpatient, outpatient and group psychology input to adults with a cancer diagnosis, with a particular focus on work with people living with a range of oncology diagnoses. There will also be an opportunity to provide consultation, supervision, reflective practice and training of non-psychologists within the Trust.
This clinical/counselling psychologist role will involve inpatient and outpatient psychological work with individuals and groups with an oncology or cancer diagnosis. The majority of this role will be on-site and will involve psychological work with people living with a range of oncology diagnoses. Alongside direct clinical work, the postholder will be involved in consultation, supervision, training, audit and leadership work and will be expected to regularly attend multidisciplinary and treatment planning meetings. This role and the associated work will be primarily based on-site in the UCH Macmillan Cancer Centre, UCH at Westmoreland Street, the Grafton Way Building, and University College Hospital.

We provide academically led acute and specialist services, to people from the local area, from throughout the United Kingdom and overseas.
