We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Senior Clinical Psychologist interested in paediatric pain management to take a key role in the delivery, evaluation, and continuous development of an intensive interdisciplinary paediatric pain management programme (PPMP) for patients and families. The post-holder will work within an interdisciplinary team that includes pain clinicians, clinical nurse specialists, psychologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and support staff.
The Pain Management Service at Great Ormond Street Hospital provides an integrated service for acute, post-operative, and persistent pain in both inpatient and outpatient settings for infants, children, and adolescents. The PPMP is one of several available interventions offered by the Pain Management Service at GOSH and is delivered over 3-weeks to children & young people aged 11-18, and their parent or carer.
The post holder will sit in the Pain Psychology Services stream within the Psychological and Mental Health Service (PAMHS). There are lots of opportunities for learning and development across the department and wider hospital including academic teaching and specialist interest. We also offer placements to Undergraduate Placement students and Trainee Clinical Psychologists.
To avoid disappointment, we encourage early applications as this vacancy may be withdrawn before the closing date due to high levels of interest.
We are committed to recruiting the best person for the job through a fair, open and consistent process that is free from bias and discrimination.
