Job description

We are looking to recruit a full-time enthusiastic Clinical Psychologist to join our supportive Paediatric psychology team to serve the needs of young people and their families with acute and long-term health conditions. We would be very pleased to hear from applicants who are interested in full-time hours, or part-time hours of 0.5 WTE or more.

We are seeking a psychologist to work in the paediatric specialties of Oncology and Cystic Fibrosis. Both of these services have well-established psychology services embedded within the MDT. This post provides the opportunity to work alongside a Consultant Clinical Psychologist in Oncology and to work as the sole psychologist in the Cystic Fibrosis Team.

Although these are band 8A posts, they are also open to newly qualified psychologists at a band 7 as part of our 18-month preceptorship. Newly qualified staff who are yet to be HCPC registered will be temporarily appointed at Band 6.

Experience in Paediatrics is desirable but not absolutely necessary, and a passion for working with children, young people and their families is essential.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a vibrant, friendly and supportive psychology team in the Paediatric Department at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital. We have Clinical Psychologists working in the Paediatric specialties of Diabetes, NICU, Epilepsy, Rheumatology, Gastroenterology and Childhood Obesity; with ambition to expand.

Interview date: 4th June 2025

The post will include work with children, young people and their families on psychological issues, such as the impact of the health condition and the challenges associated with managing this. This will include outpatient and inpatient assessment and therapy for families, as well as offering advice, consultation and training to the wider team. Being a strong team player is essential, working well as an integrated part of different multidisciplinary teams, consisting of medical consultants, specialist nurses, dieticians and physiotherapists. The post will require communication in a skilled and sensitive manner with both families and the wider MDT. There are exciting opportunities to help to develop and shape these psychology services. The post holder will have the opportunity to supervise colleagues, trainees, work with initiatives within the wider department and complete audit and research projects. There are strong links with the Doctorate programme at the University of East Anglia. There will be opportunities to have a Clinical Psychology trainee, if appropriate for your stage of qualification.

We welcome any interested applicants to contact us to find out more about these roles and ask applicants to specify on their application if there are particular specialties, or hours per week, that you are interested in working. Interviews for this post will be held on 4th June 2025.
