About the Role
If you like to work with people who are living with long-term health conditions or have recently been diagnosed with a new condition, Coventry Community Health Psychological Service offers an exciting opportunity. We are a friendly team who work very closely with nursing, therapy and medical colleagues to provide a psychological approach for patients and their carers. Over the past couple of years, community services have worked to implement a new neighbourhood approach to ensure accessible, equitable and effective care – with psychological approaches as a key element.
You will join Psychological Services at UHCW, which delivers psychological care within UHCW, outpatients and Coventry community health provision. The successful applicant will work collaboratively with psychological colleagues across GEH and UHCW and welcome applications from newly qualified psychologists ready to take on a preceptorship role.
