Job summary

We are seeking a Clinical Psychologist to join the Sandwell Stroke Service, based at Rowley Regis Hospital. This is a Band 8a post at 0.4 WTE (15 hours per week), offered on a fixed-term basis for 12 months to provide maternity cover.

Applicants who would like additional hours are welcome to discuss the possibility of combining this post with another fixed-term opportunity within General Medicine. We also encourage applications from recently qualified Clinical Psychologists who may be interested in a supported Band 7 to Band 8a development post.

Main duties of the job

Are you a compassionate and committed psychologist who champions inclusion? This is an opportunity to join our Clinical Health Psychology Service within Sandwell Stroke Services, helping people to cope with and adjust to the impact of stroke while supporting their mental health and wellbeing.

You will play an important role in ensuring that psychological perspectives inform care across the community stroke teams.

Alongside direct work with patients and their families, you will contribute to staff training, consultation and supervision.

The post will be based at Rowley Regis Hospital. Depending on service needs, the successful applicant may occasionally be asked to support other parts of the stroke service. Full clinical and operational support will be provided should this be required.
