Job summary
We are recruiting an enthusiastic and compassionate Assistant Psychologist to join us within the Rehabilitation and High Support (RHS) Care hub in Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust.

The post holder will work within our male rehabilitation services across Heathfield House (Stockport), Hurst Place (Tameside Hospital, Ashton-Under-Lyne), and Bevan Place (Stepping Hill, Stockport). Heathfield House and Hurst Place are for men aged 18-65 years, and Bevan Place is for men aged over 50 years.
