We have an exciting development in Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board (CTMUHB) for a Band 8b psychology post. This is a part-time, permanently funded post, although applicants wishing to apply for less than these hours will also be considered, as well as those wishing to job share.

This post can be offered as a training post at 8A progressing to 8B. Trainee candidates will have a development opportunity, appointed on the understanding of progression to the full Band 8b role, when further experience has been gained and essential competences have been met. It is a condition of contract that identified learning in the JD is completed.
The appointed psychologist will join a developing team of psychologists to provide an innovative Critical Care Psychology Service for CTMUHB. The post will be embedded within services and located professionally and managerially within the rapidly growing, supportive CTMUHB Health Psychology Service, covering many different specialties.
