We are looking for an enthusiastic Clinical Psychologist / Counselling Psychologist to provide specialist clinical services within the cancer and palliative care psychology team.
Applicants do not need to have had prior experience working in cancer or palliative care but will have demonstrated an interest in the areas. Prior experience would be beneficial. The post holder will be provided with training and supervision from the senior clinicians to support them in role.
The Medical Psychology service is made up of Clinical Psychologists, Counselling Psychologists, Health Psychologists, CBT therapists and Counsellors.

We also carry out clinical audit, research and service evaluation. We have strong links with the Doctoral Training Programmes at the University of Teesside, and we provide teaching, placements and research projects for Clinical Psychology and Counselling Psychology trainees.
The Group encourages innovation and service development, and we actively support this within the Medical Psychology service. All clinicians are expected to take on service development and service governance duties as part of their role, both within the Psychology service and within the wider MDTs in which we work.
