Clinical Psychologist Intern

About the Opportunity
Are you a compassionate psychology student or recent graduate eager to translate your academic knowledge into real-world clinical impact? We are seeking a highly responsible Clinical Psychologist Intern to support the emotional well-being of cancer patients and their caregivers at Jarurat Care.

We believe in complete transparency up front: while this is a 4-month unpaid internship, it is explicitly designed as a clinical launchpad. You will not be sidelined with administrative busywork. Instead, you will gain rare, hands-on exposure to the highly specialized field of Psycho-Oncology, directly providing vital emotional support to vulnerable populations navigating medical trauma.

Your Role & Explicit Expectations
You will be an integral part of our patient care ecosystem. Expect to dedicate 3–4 hours per day to the following responsibilities:

1. Empathetic Needs Assessment: Conduct initial interactions with cancer patients and their caregivers to deeply understand their unique emotional, psychological, and systemic needs.

1. Mental Health Screening: Perform basic psychological screenings to identify underlying signs of distress, such as anxiety, grief, caregiver burnout, or depressive tendencies.

1. Clinical Intervention Support: Assist in formulating and implementing practical coping strategies and emotional regulation techniques to help families navigate the trauma of a cancer diagnosis and ongoing treatment.

1. Consistent Emotional Support: Act as a reliable pillar of support through regular outreach calls and follow-ups, ensuring patients and families have a consistent point of contact for emotional relief.

1. Resource Development: Design and author meaningful mental health resources, articles, and psycho-educational content to raise awareness about Psycho-Oncology.

1. Ethical Documentation: Maintain methodical, detailed progress notes for every interaction, ensuring the absolute highest level of patient confidentiality and clinical ethics.

1. Collaborative Case Review: Actively participate in clinical case discussions and team feedback sessions to continually refine our patient support framework.

Who We Are Looking For

1. Educational Background: Currently pursuing or recently completed training/studies in Clinical Psychology, Counseling Psychology, or a related field.

1. The Empathetic Listener: You possess exceptional active listening skills, a professional demeanor, and a deep reservoir of patience for working with vulnerable groups.

1. Mission-Driven: You have a genuine interest in oncology, healthcare, and NGO operations, driven by a desire to make a tangible difference in people's lives.

1. Ethical & Accountable: You have a strong grasp of clinical boundaries, confidentiality protocols, and professional ethics.

Bonus: Prior experience or exposure in clinical psychology settings is a strong plus, but passion and clinical aptitude are the true prerequisites.

What You Will Gain (The Value Proposition)
We view this 4-month commitment as a mutual investment in your clinical career. In exchange for your dedication, you will receive:

1. Niche Clinical Exposure: Rare, practical experience in Psycho-Oncology, teaching you how to ethically and effectively support patients through severe medical trauma—skills that go far beyond academic textbooks.

1. Professional Mentorship: Direct guidance, case feedback, and skill development from experienced professionals in a collaborative environment.

1. Career Credentials: A formal Certificate of Internship and a detailed Letter of Recommendation (LOR) contingent upon excellent performance.

1. Portfolio Building: Tangible clinical and counseling experience that will significantly strengthen your resume for future clinical roles or higher education applications.

1. True Flexibility: A remote structure requiring only 3–4 hours a day, allowing you to comfortably balance academic coursework or personal commitments.

If you are ready to step out of the classroom and make a profound impact on the lives of those navigating their toughest healthcare journeys, we want you on our team. Apply now to begin your clinical journey with Jarurat Care.
