Description
Job Summary
Can you bring your skills to help people with chronic pain to improve their quality of life via high quality evidence-based rehabilitation? Would you enjoy working in an interdisciplinary team, with a varied job role?
A band 7 (preceptorship) or 8A Practitioner Psychologist post has arisen in our large pain management service; which comprises psychologists, medical consultants, physiotherapists, specialist nurses, and an administration team. Within the pathway, psychologists offer detailed assessment which informs a range of interventions including individual treatment (often working jointly with colleagues), and a range of interdisciplinary group treatments of differing intensity. Our orientation is broadly cognitive-behavioural. There is opportunity for contact with the wider Clinical Health Psychology service, and to undertake service evaluation, audit and research. A range of CPD opportunities are available, including structured preceptorship for Band 7 candidates.
Main duties of the job
This post offers much to psychologists keen to develop a career in physical health work:
The Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust (NCA) provides hospital and integrated health and social care services to over one million people living across Greater Manchester. Our 20,000 colleagues care for people in hospital and in the community, working across Bury, Rochdale, Oldham and Salford, to save and improve lives.
As a large NHS trust we are committed to enhancing the health of our local population by delivering consistently high standards of care and working closely with local authorities and key partners. We believe in our power and potential to make a difference and we're always looking for people who demonstrate our three core values - care, appreciate and inspire - to join our team.
