The successful candidate will be expected to work across all sites but will be primarily based within our 56 Dean Street sexual health service., The role will be to provide a specialist psychology service to clients with gender dysphoria at TransPlus, a national gender identity clinic. This role will include providing psychological therapy to TransPlus patients, around any aspect of their mental or sexual health connected to their diagnosis of gender dysphoria.
