We are looking for a Principal Psychologist to join our established interdisciplinary chronic pain team based in Lincoln. We are looking for an aspiring psychologist with a passion for working in the field of chronic pain management, and experience of managing a caseload within a physical health setting.

You will provide specialist psychological assessments and formulations, and deliver individual and group interventions as part of our interdisciplinary community-based chronic pain service, working alongside nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists.

You will have excellent communication and relationship skills and be resilient in responding to sometimes hostile, antagonistic or highly emotive situations. You will develop and foster conducive relationships with local and national clinical stakeholders including IAPT services, GPs, secondary care and other clinically important contacts.

At Cora we're passionate about investing in our colleagues, fostering professional growth, and ensuring everyone feels appreciated. We believe that happy and engaged colleagues provide exceptional patient care and will be motivated to perform at their best. Here's a glimpse of what we offer you:

Professional Development: Enjoy a minimum of 5% of your working hours dedicated to your personal growth and development. Attend internal conferences, study days, and access clinical support tools and pathways to excel in your role and career.

Generous Holiday Entitlement: Benefit from up to 30 days of holiday (plus public holidays) to relax and recharge. You'll also get another day off for your Birthday. If you'd like even more holiday to enjoy you can participate in our generous holiday buy and sell scheme.

Wellness Support: Access a suite of health support tools and an employee assistance program for your well-being so you can be at your best and be your true self.

Performance Awards: Excel in your objectives and be rewarded further for your hard work with a range of pay, gifts and incentives awarded alongside attending our annual colleague awards to be treated and feel special.

Savings and Support: Make huge saving by making the most of Blue Light and Healthcare Services discounts as well as the very important employer pension contributions.

Membership Fee Reimbursement: Save your pennies, as we cover the cost of role required professional membership fees.

Cora Clinical Education Academy: Access a wide range of bespoke learning opportunities with live and recorded sessions, to enhance your clinical knowledge and skills across all clinical pathways.

Collaboration Opportunities: Engage with our entire clinical team through, including emergency clinical on-call support, clinical supervision, coaching and mentoring.

Team Building: Join in on team-building and away days to build strong connections with your colleagues.

Flexibility: Work in a way that supports home live, through hybrid working options and flexibility in working hours and times.

Cora is a leading provider of community healthcare services in the UK. We deliver MSK (musculoskeletal) services, diagnostic imaging, day-case surgery, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, podiatry, persistent pain management, mental health, orthopaedic and rheumatology services.
