This is a fixed-term post to cover 9-month leave period for the current postholder.

This service is based within the community and provides psychological support for adults referred to Ealing Community Partner (ECP) services who have a range of health conditions. The team consists of psychologists, an art therapist and peer support worker and is embedded within a number of multidisciplinary teams.

We are looking for a dynamic and enthusiastic individual who will take over leadership of clinical health psychology services to patients who have a range of health psychology needs with a focus on diabetes, chronic pain, MSK and pulmonary rehabilitation.

The postholder has the opportunity to work remotely (e.g. from home) if interested, but there will be a requirement to work from sites in Ealing when needed.
