The ADOT-Psychology service supports patients accessing Orthognathic Jaw Surgery, Facial Surgery after a traumatic injury and patients with long term Oral Medicine conditions. Patients accessing the surgery pathways may present with trauma symptoms, appearance-related distress, physical pain or mental health difficulties amongst other presenting needs. They may be offered pre and post-surgery support including direct therapy, support with decision making, coping strategies or adjustment to their appearance. The psychology team works on a collaborative basis with the multi-disciplinary team to offer holistic and person-centred support.

It is essential that the post holder can demonstrate excellent communication skills, organisational skills, be able to work under their own initiative and be responsive to feedback and development.
There are three substantive assistant psychologist posts within the service, two of which are currently vacant. The successful postholders will work alongside the established assistant psychologist within the wider DOT-Psychology service. The service has an ethos of supportive team working, valuing all members of the team and focusing on supporting our assistant psychologists to develop professionally in line with their career goals. We value diversity of experience, background and thought and welcome applications from underrepresented communities. We will give you the opportunity to reflect on any challenges or barriers you may have faced in developing your career in the psychological professions to support your application.
