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.

About the company
National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
