The post holder will be based at The Princess of Wales Hospital, Bridgend and joining the rapidly developing, supportive and dynamic CTMUHB Health Psychology Service. The current psychology establishment also includes many posts in other specialities, including cardiac rehabilitation, critical care, paediatrics, neuropsychology, weight management and employee well-being, plus pending developments in additional specialties. There are good links with the South Wales Clinical Doctorate programme in Cardiff University and other university courses in South Wales. Strong networks of clinical health psychologists in South Wales are established, with numerous opportunities for CPD and peer support.

There will be direct and indirect work with adults, families/carers and members of the multidisciplinary teams, together with consultation to other professionals, training and multidisciplinary work with opportunity to contribute to developing the service. The new psychologist will work closely with another psychologist working in the speciality in CTMUHB and receive professional supervision from the Head of CTMUHB Health Psychology Service.
