Summary

Are you interested in a role where every day is different and where you can use a variety of psychology skills? If so, we are looking for a caring and innovative clinical psychologist to join our team. There is a huge variety of work within this role and you may undertake neuro-psychological assessments which contribute to a diagnosis of dementia as well as provide a range of post-diagnostic therapeutic options. These include providing groups and individual therapy for people with dementia as well as for their carers. This includes supporting cares whose loved ones have behaviour that challenges the care giver. You will also work with patients who have co-existing mental health needs in addition to their cognitive difficulties. You will also provide consultation to help promote psychological thinking within the MDT and the wider system around the patient.

The London borough of Ealing is culturally highly diverse and there is a real commitment to meet the needs of the communities we serve. You will be based in the Ealing CIDS West team in Greenford and be involved in ensuring psychology provision is appropriate and accessible for our community. Our teams reflect the cultural diversity of our communities, and we are developing our outreach and co-production work.

Our all-age Cognitive Impairment and Dementia Service (CIDS) works alongside our Specialist Older Adult Mental Health Service (SOAMHS) which is a community service for people over 70 which works closely with our older adult in-patient service. So although your main role would be in CIDS, there would be opportunities to work with the other teams too. You will also supervise the Assistant Psychologist for the team and would be able to participate in research projects which are a feature of CIDS.

West London NHS Trust is one of the most diverse healthcare providers in the UK, delivering a range of mental health and physical healthcare and community services. The Trust runs Broadmoor Hospital, one of three high secure hospitals in the country, with an international reputation.

Our high secure services care for patients from South of England and we provide low and medium secure services across eight London boroughs. The Trust also provides mental and physical healthcare in three London boroughs (Ealing, Hounslow and Hammersmith & Fulham). We employ over 5,000 staff, of whom 59% are BME. Our turnover for 2024-25 is over £500m.

The Trust is rated as ‘Good’ overall by the Care Quality Commission. Forensic services are rated as ‘Outstanding’.

The Trust is an established partner and contributor in the development of the evolving North West London Integrated Care System and the Integrated Care Board. The Trust leads the NW London Children and Adolescent Mental Health provider collaborative.
