Fixed Term role
We’re looking for a dedicated professional to join our dynamic Paediatric Psychology Department at Sheffield Children’s Hospital. As one of the UK’s leading specialist paediatric centres, the hospital cares for children and young people aged 0–19, referred from across the country for expert treatment and support.
This is a unique opportunity to provide specialist psychological input across the Haematology and Oncology pathways, with scope for cross-speciality work within a leading children’s hospital.
You’ll be part of a supportive, multidisciplinary team delivering high-quality care to children, young people, and their families.
About You
Clinical Psychologist with relevant professional registration
Experience working with children and young people in clinical settings
Strong interpersonal and communication skills
Ability to work collaboratively across specialities and discipline
There is a strong culture of research and training within the Paediatric Psychology Department, and a huge amount of expertise in working with children with physical health problems.
Reporting into the Joint Head of Psychological Services (Paediatric Psychology), some of your responsibilities will include:
Provide psychological assessments and tailored interventions for patients across a range of physical health pathways, including Haematology and Oncology
Offer expert consultation and advice to colleagues and carers on psychological care
Work autonomously within professional and service guidelines
Contribute to service development, audit, and research initiatives
Support training and continuous improvement across the department
Flexible working options available, including part-time and job share
At Sheffield Children’s, our purpose is clear: to provide healthier futures for children and young people. Our three strategic aims are Outstanding Patient Care, Brilliant Place to Work, and Leaders in Children’s Health.
We work with partners across local, regional, and national levels to deliver physical and mental healthcare in both acute and community settings. Many of our clinicians are nationally and internationally recognised for their expertise.
We’re proud that 73% of colleagues would recommend Sheffield Children’s as a place to work, placing us among the top five NHS trusts in England — and the top-ranked trust in the North East and Yorkshire — in the latest NHS Staff Survey.
Our nearly 4,000 colleagues bring our CARE values — Compassion, Accountability, Respect, and Excellence — to life every day, creating a kind, welcoming environment where patients and families feel safe and supported.
As we approach our 150th anniversary in 2026, we’re excited to keep building our leadership in children's health, improve experiences for patients and staff, and focus on our communities and population health.
We also offer excellent benefits to support your wellbeing, with generous annual leave and pension schemes, health and wellbeing programmes, and exclusive discounts — helping you thrive at work and beyond.
