Main duties of the job
Working alongside the red cell lead psychologist, the post-holder will support the delivery of a high-quality specialist clinical psychology service for patients across the red cell pathway at North Middlesex University Hospital.
Key responsibilities include providing specialist psychological assessment and therapy, and offering advice, guidance and consultation on psychological care to non-psychology colleagues. Appropriate support will also be given to partners, carers and families involved in the patient's care.

NMUH is located on the border between Haringey and Enfield at the most deprived areas of both boroughs, having very high levels of social and economic deprivation with associated high levels of physical and mental health problems.

Job summary
We are looking for an experienced Primary Care Paramedic to join our friendly and supportive clinical team at Spilsby Surgery.
This is a varied and rewarding role, offering the opportunity to use your assessment, clinical decision-making and autonomous practice skills across a broad range of patient presentations, both within the surgery and in the community.
You will be joining a practice where Paramedics are an important part of the clinical team, working closely with GPs, nurses and other healthcare professionals, with regular opportunities for clinical discussion and shared learning.
We are looking for someone who wants to become part of the practice, not simply fill a role. You will be encouraged to bring your own experience, ideas and interests to the team, continue to develop your career in primary care and play an active part in the ongoing development of our clinical services.
Main duties of the job
The Paramedic will be an integral member of our clinical team, providing assessment and care for patients presenting with both new and ongoing health concerns.
A key part of the role will be helping patients access the right care at the right time. You will assess, treat and advise patients where appropriate, arrange onward referral or follow-up when needed, and work with other members of the team where a different clinical input is required.
The role will also include supporting patients who are unable to attend the surgery, including home visits and working with other professionals involved in their care.
You will be well supported in your day-to-day work, with dedicated clinical discussion time each day and regular multidisciplinary meetings. These provide protected opportunities to discuss cases, seek a second opinion and work together on patient care.
About us
Spilsby Surgery is a rural dispensing practice caring for around 7,250 patients across Spilsby and the surrounding communities. Our team includes GPs, advanced practitioners, nursing staff, dispensary, care navigation and administrative colleagues, working closely alongside each other as one team.
Our patient population is diverse, covering all ages and a wide range of health needs. We also provide care to local care homes and housebound patients, making the work at Spilsby both interesting and rewarding.
There is a strong sense of teamwork across the practice. We value open communication, shared learning and different perspectives, and believe that every member of the team has something important to contribute.
We are continuing to grow and strengthen the practice, with a clear focus on providing excellent patient care while creating a positive and supportive place to work. We want people to enjoy being part of Spilsby Surgery, feel valued for the contribution they make and have the opportunity to grow with the practice.
