The Peritoneal Malignancy Institute is an internationally renowned Tertiary Service for patients with a rare form of cancer. These patients are admitted from around the country and usually stay in hospital for at least two weeks so input is a mix of virtual and in person support.  

We are looking for a Clinical Psychologist to contribute to supporting patients during this highly emotive time. This includes conducting virtual pre-admission assessment and pre-surgery psychological support, in hospital face to face interventions and post discharge support offered virtually.

This psychology service is one of a kind in the country and although it has been established for over 8 years it is still growing and we are always looking for new ways to support our patients.  We have a well-resourced research team and  an interest in research and evaluation will be a real benefit

This is a role with structure but also a lot of scope to develop it and make it your own. It is an 8a post but we would consider a newly qualified applicant with experience in health psychology, on a preceptorship programme. 

Start and finish hours are flexible but to fit in with the team structure we are looking for someone available to work Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

The post is professionally managed and supervised by Consultant Clinical psychologist  Nancy Vanderpuye who would love the opportunity to have an informal chat if you would like to know more : [email protected]
