This is an exciting opportunity for a Paediatric Neuropsychologist, or an Educational or Clinical Psychologist, with experience in leading interdisciplinary neuropsychological rehabilitation to take up this 0.4 WTE leadership role at the Cambridge Centre for Paediatric Neuropsychological Rehabilitation (the CCPNR). The CCPNR is the regional, specialist, interdisciplinary community neurorehabilitation service for children and young people with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) in the East of England.

In addition to supporting the everyday delivery of the service for children, young people and their families (through working with and providing supervision for the interdisciplinary team) the role includes the liaison and management of commissioning across the paediatric neuro-rehabilitation pathway from acute to community.

The service was established in 2009 and is now part of an integrated pathway working with teams at Cambridge University Hospitals. The team works closely with community teams as well as specialist services such as Youth Justice.

As a neuropsychology led service, the understanding of a young person’s injury to their brain is at the core of the interdisciplinary formulation and intervention. The role is to bring together the expertise from neurology, psychiatry, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, clinical psychology and educational psychology in the assessment and intervention for children and young people with ABI.

The post holder will work closely with the Lead for Paediatric Neuropsychology Services at CPFT and the Lead for Paediatric Neurorehabilitation at CUH in developing the regional pathways for children with ABI.

Service evaluation and research are a core part of the role: The service has close links with training courses at the University of East Anglia and is invested in continuing to build the evidence base for children with ABI.

Job plan: On appointment, all roles will have a job plan agreed with line manager to ensure the roles are met. The job plan will form part of supervision, job planning and appraisal processes.
