Responsibilities include delivering specialist psychological and neuropsychological assessments and interventions across both care environments. Suitable candidates should be a suitably qualified psychologist and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council. We are keen to hear from anyone who has a passion for working in a trauma informed way with older people experiencing complex mental health challenges and/or neurodegenerative conditions, and has a collaborative, team-orientated approach.
