Our service is dedicated to providing a high-quality service to those living in Lincolnshire who have suffered acquired brain injuries and/or neurological conditions, such as traumatic brain injuries, strokes, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, etc. We work with those living in the community and provide input onto the local inpatient neurorehabilitation ward.

Our service offers holistic neuropsychological assessment, formulation, rehabilitation, consultation and/or advice.



We are looking for someone to join us who is enthusiastic and reliable, with a keen eye for attention to detail and is proactive but also receptive to supervision. This post is a great way to start to learn about neuropsychology and develop your clinical knowledge and skills. We are particularly interested in those with a like-minded interest in neuropsychology. For added insight, one of our assistant neuropsychologists has published a reflective piece in the BPS Division of Clinical Psychology East Midlands Branch around her learning and experiences of working in our community team (in June 2023).
