The Psychological Therapies Service is a dynamic, hospital-based service delivering high-quality psychological support to both inpatients and outpatients across a wide range of medical specialties. We work at the intersection of physical and psychological health, supporting patients at some of the most complex and meaningful points in their care.
Our team is vibrant, supportive and proudly multidisciplinary, bringing together psychotherapists, counsellors, clinical psychologists, arts psychotherapists and dedicated administrators. Collaboration, curiosity and compassion underpin everything we do. We place a strong emphasis on staff well-being and professional growth, offering high-quality individual and group supervision alongside opportunities for learning and development.
We are seeking experienced, enthusiastic and highly motivated clinicians who thrive in complex environments and are ready to meet the emotional and psychological challenges of hospital-based work. You will be resilient, adaptable and able to work confidently on your own initiative, while also valuing connection, teamwork and reflective practice.
A genuine interest in the relationship between physical health and psychological well-being is essential, as is a commitment to delivering thoughtful, patient-centred care.
