The Psychological Medicine Service is seeking an experienced Health Psychologist to join their innovative team. The service is particularly interested in applicants who may have an interest in Dermatology.
The Service is predominantly based at Middlemore Hospital with in- and outpatient care delivered across multiple satellite sites in the Counties Manukau area. You will be part of a department that includes a number of health psychologists, clinical psychologists, consultation-liaison psychiatrists and clinical nurse specialists.
Assessments undertaken by health psychologists provide an understanding of the person and their difficulties from a broad bio-psycho-social and developmental perspective and include the use of detailed psychological, cognitive and behavioural assessment interviews, and the use of standardised assessments tools. Clinically you will be working closely with a hospital speciality service.
Interventions commonly used, include individual therapy (often with a strong CBT and/or ACT focus), therapeutic groups, family therapy, psychoeducational groups, behaviour management, and case consultation. The service is committed to supporting psychologists with their professional and clinical skills development.
Previous clinical experience in a healthcare setting would be an advantage. As this role will potentially involve working with adolescents and young adults, experience in working with this population group would also be ideal.
