Join to apply for the Specialist Clinical Psychologist Burns role at University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, innovative clinical psychologist interested in an opportunity to gain experience, knowledge and skills in working in paediatric burns and acute services.

You will be supported by an experienced Consultant Clinical Psychologist in your role.

This role can be offered as a band 7 preceptorship to 8A.

Professionally, the post holder will be part of a larger group of psychologists within Psychological Health Services working within a large group of adult and paediatric specialties within this large acute Trust. We are a valued, well-established and supportive service with a strong commitment to clinical supervision, continuing professional development, innovative service development, and research. We have well-established links to clinical psychology training courses in the South West.

Responsibilities include:

1. To provide needs-led, evidence-based targeted and specialist intervention for patients.
2. To provide applied psychological consultation, staff support, and training for multidisciplinary professionals working in University Hospitals Bristol and Weston.

University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW) is one of the largest acute Trusts in the country, bringing together a combined workforce of over 13,000 staff and over 100 different clinical services across 10 different sites, serving a core population of more than 500,000 people across South West England.
