Macmillan Clinical Psychologist with Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust in Northampton, England, United Kingdom
The University Hospitals of Northamptonshire NHS Group is delighted to be working in partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support and the East Midlands Cancer Alliance to increase the psychological support for people living with cancer. We are looking to recruit a committed, compassionate, and enthusiastic clinical/counselling or health psychologist to join the psycho-oncology service. This post will be based at Kettering General Hospital. The Macmillan clinical psychology services provide a specialist (level IV) clinical psychology service to adult (18 +) patients who have been diagnosed with cancer and who are experiencing complex psychological difficulties relating to any aspect of their diagnosis or treatment. Our services take a compassionate, holistic and patient-centred approach, and are committed to offering a flexible and responsive service to cancer patients at all stages of the cancer pathway. Travel across the county may be required in order to attend supervision, clinical governance and CPD events so a driving licence and access to a vehicle insured for business purposes would be advantageous. This role offers the opportunity for a mix of face-to-face and virtual outpatient sessions, as well as some inpatient work. The service is well regarded and highly valued by the cancer teams within the hospitals, consistently receiving extremely positive feedback from patients. The post-holder will contribute to all aspects of the service, including direct clinical work with patients, supporting the delivery of supervision, consultation and teaching to the level two practitioners, as well as providing support to other staff within oncology/haematology services as appropriate. The post holder will work closely with the Service Leads and will have creative opportunities to contribute to the future development of the service. The successful candidate will ideally have some relevant post-qualification experience. However, we would welcome applications from newly qualified psychologists who would be appointed on a band 7 preceptorship basis, with a development plan in place to support them to working towards an 8a role. Some experience of working with people with cancer or in a health psychology setting would be valuable, but not essential, although you will be expected to have an understanding of the relationship between physical health conditions and emotional wellbeing. Part-time/flexible working could be considered. Northampton General Hospital is one of the largest employers in the area and we are on an exciting journey. All of our divisions are committed to doing things better, with more efficiency as we update, modernise, and advance. We have also entered into a Group Model with neighbouring Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and become University Hospitals of Northamptonshire. Our Excellence Values Compassion Accountability Respect Integrity Courage We want to recruit the best people to deliver our services across the University Hospitals of Northamptonshire and help to unleash everyone’s full potential. As an organisation, we value how we communicate and promote our vacancies to all communities. We are a Defence positive trust, supporting our reservists, veterans, spouses and partners. The Hospital Group encourages applications from people who identify from all protected groups, especially those from BAME, Disabled and LGBTQ+ backgrounds as these are underrepresented in our hospitals. We understand that we need to work with colleagues from diverse backgrounds and make sure the environment they work in is inclusive and collaborative. We have active Networks that promote and support colleagues from all backgrounds. This ensures everyone feels supported and has a sense of belonging working for Kettering and Northampton General Hospitals.
