Band 7 clinical psychologist

We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic Band 7 clinical psychologist to join our well established paediatric psychology service at Hillingdon Hospital, Uxbridge. We are a friendly, innovative and well valued team who work closely with our medical colleagues and this is a new post, as our service continues to expand. You would be well supported by our experienced team to develop and grow your clinical skills and be part of a wider MDT within the paediatric department.

To offer psychological thinking to all aspects of a child and family's journey in this health setting.

To be flexible in how psychological engagement, talking and creative approaches to health and wellbeing can be offered.

To work together with the mdt and community services so that young people are supported where their psychological needs can be best met.

To consider equality, diversity and inclusion in all aspects of your work and ensure the young person's and family's voice is heard in the system.

To take part in CPD, clinical governance forums and maintain and continue best practice in relation to local and national guidance.

CNWL paediatric psychology services are embedded in hospitals across NW London. We have provided services for many years in this area as well as developing new posts. We support each other with supervision, CPD, reflective practice and opportunities for learning in the wider mental health trust, and bring back this learning into an acute physical setting. We enjoy innovative and creative systemic working with the child younger person and family at the heart of how we work. Hillingdon Hospital NHS trust funds this service and is very open and valuing of psychological roles within their MDTs.
