Role Overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an 8A Clinical Psychologist to join Neuropsychology within NHS Highland for a fixed term contract to cover secondment leave. You will work clinically as part of our Neuropsychology team and associated multidisciplinary teams, while also working autonomously within professional guidelines and the overall framework of local and Board policies and procedures. You will play a vital role in clinical service delivery and service improvement, putting patients and their families at the centre of service delivery.
Responsibilities
Our team provides specialist Clinical Neuropsychology services to adults within Neurology and Neurorehabilitation services in the North Highland Health and Social Care Partnership region. You will deliver highly specialist neuropsychological assessment, treatment and rehabilitation, and give advice and consultation on neuropsychological care. This includes inpatient and outpatient, remote and clinic‑based, individual and group clinical care. You will also provide clinical supervision, consultation, staff training, and group delivery – all central to the role. Clinical experience in neuropsychology service delivery, group work, remote interventions and cognitive assessments will be beneficial. Additionally, you will support the Head of Neuropsychology in the strategic development of services across acute and rehabilitation pathways.
Work Context
The wider Psychology department within NHS Highland is a supportive, dynamic and developing department providing services across the region.
