The North Ceredigion Primary Care Cluster is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and innovative experienced Practitioner Psychologist with excellent clinical and communication skills to join our new multi-disciplinary Chronic Pain team. This is an ideal opportunity to be part of a new and actively developing service where emphasis is on delivering the best possible care for the people of Ceredigion, whilst promoting innovation, research and values based health care in all that we do.

As an experienced Practitioner Psychologist within this team, you will play a leading role in reviewing, auditing, developing and delivering patient care whilst being supported by other Senior Practitioners in the Chronic Pain service within Hywel Dda University Health Board and wider health psychology service.

We are also fortunate to have very active clinical and professional networks on an All Wales basis with direct links into the Welsh Assembly Government, local Universities and service delivery groups.
