Assistant Clinical Psychologist

Tom s Trust provide specialist psychological support to children with brain tumours and their families the UK s leading charity dedicated to this work.

A brain tumour diagnosis can be devastating. Without timely intervention, many children face life-long challenges but with the right psychological support from the moment of diagnosis, we can help them return to school, resume their lives, and achieve their potential. Support for the whole family is a vital part of the outcomes for this unique group of children.

The Assistant Clinical Psychologist for Tom's Trust is integral to our mission and is embedded in our strategy to walk alongside the child and family. This exciting new position, under the supervision of a clinical psychologist, is intended to develop and implement our new strategy to provide more national resources to reach every family in the UK impacted by a child s brain tumour diagnosis. This will include supporting the development of the online resources hub, an online forum, peer support groups, activity camps and increasing patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE).
