Clinical Psychologist​/Neuropsychologist

Job summary

Totus Neurorehabilitation is a growing community neurorehabilitation service providing brain injury rehabilitation and cognitive assessments across the South of England. Due to an increasing number of referrals in the Midlands we are looking for an enthusiastic and committed Clinical Psychologist/Neuropsychologist to join our team to cover Leicester, Birmingham and the surrounding areas. We are funded on a case-by-case basis through individual funding packages (eg exceptional healthcare funding, CHC funding).

As such the post holder is contracted to individual clients and the working hours will be based on the individual client's requirements with pay based on an hourly rate. This post would best suit a practitioner working part time in the NHS looking for one or two additional cases a week. As the post covers a large geographical area, we require you to hold a full UK driving licence, have access to a car for business purposes and are able to travel long distances for appointments.

Travel time is paid at half the clinical rate. You will also be partly working from home and will need a confidential space to do online sessions and meetings when needed. This is an Associate position which means the applicant is self-employed and contracted to the client. You will be required to register as a sole trader with the HMRC and submit your own tax return yearly.

The applicant requires their own indemnity insurance, DBS certificate, and registration with the ICO.

The post holder will be part of an interdisciplinary rehabilitation team (including Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and Speech and Language Therapists) providing evidence-based brain injury rehabilitation in the community, clients homes, or outpatient clinics. You will also be providing cognitive assessments in our clinics. You will be responsible for managing your own caseload within the team and working across services and systems throughout our clients rehabilitation journeys.

You will be able to work collaboratively and creatively with evidence-based approaches, and you will have a keen interest in neuropsychology with a desire to develop excellence in the field. You will receive support in developing your career with supervision from Neuropsychologists on the Specialist Register of Neuropsychologists. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn from experts in the field.

You will have experience in working with clients who have neurological presentations and cognitive deficits, experience of working within complex psychosocial systems, and the confidence to lead a multidisciplinary team through complex case formulation. The post is suitable for experienced clinicians or as a development opportunity for newly qualified Clinical Psychologists with a passion for a career in neuropsychology (hourly rate will reflect experience).

An MSc in Applied Neuropsychology or similar would be desirable.

Totus is a complete neurorehabilitation service, bringing together expert clinicians to support people following acquired brain injury, neurological illness or complex physical trauma. Our multidisciplinary team includes specialists in neuropsychology, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, dietetics, and MS support services. We work closely with case managers, solicitors, families and support teams to deliver coordinated, person-centred rehabilitation that maximises each individuals potential.

Our values are based in patient-led rehabilitation, with a community focus, funded on transparent communication, evidence based treatment, and sustainability of the rehabilitation model. All aimed to promote the quality of life of our clients and their supporters.
