Cardiff, United Kingdom Cardiff and Vale University Health Board Full time

We are looking for a dynamic, innovative and experienced Practitioner Psychologist who can lead the fast-paced development of psychology within our Long-Term Conditions - Live Well Service. This is a highly collaborative post - working with our service users to co-design and deliver services; working with professional colleagues and managers within the UHB; and working to ensure we can demonstrate the impact of psychological approaches within long term conditions.

This is an exciting time to join Cardiff & Vale UHB. The UHB has supported the development of psychological expertise in medical settings and there is a growing Clinical Health Psychology and Neuropsychology Specialty. There is an active professional network for clinical psychologists in South Wales and you would be able to develop your professional, leadership, supervisory and clinical skills via CPD opportunities.

The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; English and/or Welsh speakers are equally welcome to apply.

The role involves leadership of the psychological aspects of the service including service design, governance structures, pathway construction and delivery. Innovation, with partners, to provide alternative approaches to traditional NHS work is a key element.

The post holder will act as an expert advisor on the psychology of long-term medical conditions within the UHB and to wider clinical groups, national groups and service commissioners.

The role involves the professional and line management of staff delivering psychological services within the Long-Term Conditions Service.

The role involves training and education.

The role involves specific clinical input for those with long term medical conditions including direct work, group work, consultation to others, and supervision of those using psychological approaches.

There is a strong service development and improvement aspect to this role with opportunities for research and audit. Demonstrating value via innovative methods is crucial to the role.

The post is full-time at 37.5 hours per week.
