Psychologist jobs in Southampton

UK Registered Clinical Psychologist

Mission & Values

Our mission at Eden New Life is to provide high-quality and convenient health and well-being advice to transgender, intersex and non-binary clients aged 18 and above. Our service primarily provides access to independent specialists for diagnosis and gender affirming hormone medication. We are a diverse team all serving clients remotely.

The values that guide us are:

• Client safety comes first
• Our services are clinically led
• We are a caring for-profit business
• We help as many people as we can, within our treatment protocols, but we cannot help everybody
• We foster a positive working culture and encourage open dialogue on any matter

Role Description

This is a flexible part-time remote contract role (3-5 hours per week to start but likely to increase) for an independent qualified UK registered clinical psychologist. The successful candidate will work alongside a multidisciplinary team of registered Allied Health Professionals including UK doctors, nurses, pharmacists and counsellors.

The role primarily involves:

• Diagnosis Session: Conducting a 30-minute online consultation with a client exploring their gender and mental health, finishing with diagnostic confirmation (or otherwise) of gender incongruence. The client will already have seen another professional prior to your assessment, providing a detailed health history. £65/session including write up time.
• Surgery Referral Letters: Conducting a 1hr online consultation with a client to ensure they are WPATH-ready and compliant for gender-affirming surgery (or otherwise), finishing with a written report to a surgeon. £150/session including write up time.
• Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) Part A Reports: Conducting a 1hr online consultation with a client to ensure that they are compliant with UK GRC requirements (or otherwise), finishing with a written report for submission to the GRC panel. £150/session including write up time.

You set your own hours and working calendar as an independent contractor and are responsible for your own tax. This role would suit someone with a vested interest in this field, who wants some additional part-time income while working remotely. It is unlikely to provide a full time income. Occasional evening and weekend availability is helpful.

Equipment & Workspace
A free loan laptop will be provided. You must provide a reliable and consistent internet connection (minimum 35–70 Mbps download and 10–20 Mbps upload). We will test your connection from time to time to ensure it meets these requirements.

• Good computer skills (managing your calendar, meeting online with client)

Desirable Qualifications & Skills

• Lived or personal experience & thus understanding of the health challenges faced by transgender, intersex and non-binary patients in the UK
• Professional knowledge of transgender healthcare needs
• Experience working with diverse and marginalised communities
• Experience in telehealth or online healthcare service

Diversity

We cultivate a culture of inclusion for all team members that respects their individual strengths, views, and experiences. We believe that our differences enable us to be a better team.
