At NNUH it is our privilege to provide healthcare to over one million people across Norfolk and surrounding areas. Our vision is to ‘provide the best care for every patient’, and if this inspires you and you share our values, we really want you to join our team.
NNUH is currently the busiest Trauma Unit in the East of England caring for almost 850 trauma patients annually many with complex care needs. We are enhancing our urgent and emergency care specialist services for patients with significant injuries as a result of trauma and have an ambition to become a Major Trauma Centre.
Our values support our vision and guide the behaviour of everything we do, these are:
People-focused
We look after the needs of our patients, carers and colleagues, to provide a safe and caring experience for all.
Respect
We act with care, compassion and kindness and value others’ diverse needs.
Integrity
We take an honest, open and ethical approach to everything we do.
Dedication
We work as one team and support each other to maintain the highest professional standards.
Excellence
We continuously learn and improve to achieve the best outcomes for our patients and our hospital.
Wish you were here? So do we.
We want all our staff to achieve a balance between work and personal life and understand how important flexible working can be. We welcome applications on a full or part time basis, various shift patterns and hybrid working, where roles allow.
At the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (NNUH), we know the benefits diversity can bring to our organisation such as creativity, innovation and compassion. All of which have a direct impact towards our staff and patient experience. We are committed to being a Hospital for All – being equitable and inclusive, and a place where all feel a sense of belonging. We therefore particularly encourage and welcome applications from candidates who are underrepresented in NNUH’s workforce. These include people from Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic backgrounds, people with diverse abilities and people within the LGBT+ community.

Prif ddyletswyddau'r swydd
The Assistant Clinical Psychologist will be an integral member of a newly commissioned Diabetes Young Person Pilot Service, which has been funded through NHS England. The pilot team consists of consultants, nurses, dietitians, youth workers, and a young person’s co-ordinator. The Clinical Psychologist in the diabetes department will supervise you and co-work with you on some of the initiatives.
The aim of this new role is to work closely with patients with diabetes aged 19-25yrs old to promote greater engagement with their diabetes care, and to promote improved physical and mental wellbeing. The pilot project is collecting data to evidence improvement in engagement, which will be fed back to the national team, and you may contribute to the data collection and analysis. The project (and therefore the role) will run until 31/3/25.
As part of your clinical work there will be opportunities to do both individual work and group work. Some of the contact may involve remote working, due to pressure on clinical space within the Elsie Bertram centre.
We want to become a more diverse and inclusive department, therefore we welcome and actively encourage applications from candidates from a broad range of backgrounds, with different lived and learned experiences.
