This role is part of the modernised care pathway for MND and integrates specialised psychological support directly into the national multidisciplinary MND service. This modernised care pathway outlines the optimal steps in caring for a patient with a specific clinical condition. It moves away from traditional, fragmented hospital models to create a seamless, efficient journey from diagnosis to recovery or long-term management.

The role involves working as part of a multidisciplinary team across inpatient and outpatient settings to support patients experiencing psychological distress, adjustment difficulties, cognitive and behavioural difficulties associated with neurodegenerative illness. The post-holder will contribute to service development, supervision, teaching, research and quality improvement initiatives within MND services.

Provide psychological consultation and support to multidisciplinary team colleagues regarding patient care, cognition, behaviour and psychological management.
Provide support, psychoeducation and consultation to family members and caregivers where clinically indicated.
Maintain accurate and timely clinical records, reports and correspondence in line with professional and organisational standards.

Service Development and Quality Improvement

Contribute to the ongoing development and evaluation of Motor Neurone Disease psychology services in line with organisational and national priorities.
Participate in clinical audit, quality improvement and service evaluation activities.
Support the implementation of evidence-based practice and development of clinical pathways within neuropsychology and MND services.
Participate in departmental and multidisciplinary meetings, service planning and operational developments as required.

Supervision, Education and Training

Provide supervision and support to assistant psychologists, trainee psychologists and junior psychology staff as appropriate.
Contribute to teaching, education and training initiatives within the Department of Psychology and multidisciplinary teams.
Support undergraduate and postgraduate psychology training placements where appropriate.
Participate in continuing professional development and mandatory supervision in accordance with professional guidelines.

Research and Audit

Participate in research, audit and service evaluation relevant to Motor Neurone Disease, neuropsychology and psychological care in medical settings.
Contribute to dissemination of research and service developments through presentations, publications and professional forums where appropriate.

Governance and Professional Practice

Work in accordance with professional ethics, departmental policies, hospital procedures and relevant legislation.
Maintain high standards of clinical governance, confidentiality, documentation and data protection.
Participate in departmental governance, audit and quality assurance processes.
Carry out duties in accordance with Beaumont Hospital policies and Department of Psychology operational procedures.

Qualifications:

Honours degree in Psychology and recognised postgraduate qualification in Clinical or Counselling Psychology.
