Cambridge University Hospital Foundation Trust (CUH) is seeking a highly skilled and compassionate individual to join the new NHS Children and Young People's Gender Service (East of England) in the role of Consultant Clinical Psychologist – Training Lead.

Based within the Paediatrics Department at CUH, we are looking for a senior psychological practitioner with substantial training delivery experience to help shape this new service.

The Cass Review into gender services for children and young people has recommended that staff should maintain a broad clinical perspective by working across related NHS services in order to embed the care of children and young people with gender‑related distress within a broader child and adolescent health context. In order to facilitate this, we encourage part‑time applications from staff already working in other NHS or related services.

We can also work with successful candidates applying for full‑time roles to agree a job plan that includes a mix of gender service activity and activity in another clinical area.

To lead, coordinate and supervise psychological research, service evaluation and audit activity both uni‑professionally and in collaboration with other professional groups within the programme, to the extent covered by this post.
