Clinical Psychologist - Expert Witness

Independent medico-legal assessments are on the rise, and one particular company are looking for an associate Clinical Psychologist to join their team on a flexible, ad-hoc basis as an Expert Witness.

This is a rare opportunity for Clinical Psychologists to complete medico-legal assessments on an as-needed basis alongside their current schedule and other commitments. You will slowly build up a caseload of Expert Witness cases, as much or as little as you like. Much of the work will be remote, but you must have one of the following locations accessible to you face-to-face:
Birmingham, Sheffield, Brighton, Oxford or Cheltenham.

Primarily, the cases relate to personal injury or road traffic accident claims, although there may also be some more complex cases. Due to the unpredictable nature of each case, all specialisms are welcomed within your Clinical Psychology discipline, and your particular area of expertise will bring value to each case in different ways.

• Flexible, variable work that fits alongside your current capacity (no minimum hours) and opportunity to build up a portfolio if this interests
• Remote and face-to-face work, determined by the instructing solicitor. You must be accessible in-person to at least one of:
  Birmingham, Sheffield, Brighton, Oxford and Cheltenham.
• Minimal administration, with medical secretaries managing bookings and draft report-writing
• 45 minute assessments, with 15 minutes for paperwork
• £90 per hour

• HCPC-registration as a fully-qualified Clinical Psychologist
• 1+ years’ experience post-qualification, but no particular specialism required
• Confidence to identify and carry out psychological assessments within a range of contexts
• Flexibility to complete as many or as few assessments as you like according to your schedule

This is a rather interesting opportunity, that has potential to add another string to your bow and develop your professional portfolio as a Clinical Psychologist!
