Are you a newly qualified Clinical Psychologist looking to gain experience in Neuropsychological Rehabilitation?

Or are you an experienced Clinical Psychologist keen to broaden your expertise this field?

We’re looking for a motivated and compassionate Clinical Psychologist to join our established therapy team at Frenchay Brain Injury Rehabilitation Centre. This is an exciting opportunity to develop your specialist skills while making a real difference to the lives of people recovering from traumatic and acquired brain injuries.

Offering a permanent contract working three days per week, this role could be ideal for a newly qualified Clinical Psychologist looking to build their experience, or an experienced psychologist seeking to further their career in specialist neurorehabilitation.

Frenchay Brain Injury Rehabilitation Centre provides intensive inpatient rehabilitation for people with complex needs following a brain injury. Our service includes 29 Level 1 and 23 Level 2 neurorehabilitation beds, supporting patients from across the South West.

Working alongside an experienced multidisciplinary team, you’ll contribute to the assessment and rehabilitation of patients experiencing cognitive, emotional and behavioural difficulties following brain injury.

Support will be available to pursue the Qualification in Clinical Neuropsychology (QiCN), alongside ongoing clinical supervision and professional development.
