Thank you for viewing this exciting opportunity for a skilled and experienced Counsellor to join our team in a unique and varied role. You will be able to make a real difference to NHS staff, work in a supportive team environment, benefit from flexible working and have the opportunity to contribute to innovative practice and collaborative working.

You will be based mainly in Pontypridd Cottage Hospital (South Wales) but will also be willing to travel to provide services across other sites. We offer a mixture of virtual as well as face-to-face work, so some home working can be considered.

We are a friendly, supportive, inclusive and hardworking team looking to attract people from all backgrounds. We draw on evidence and best practice from around the world but also value innovation and focus on continuous learning and improvement. We offer a good programme of support and supervision and the opportunity for professional development.

If you haven't considered working for the NHS before then please email Clare to arrange a call and she can discuss the role in more detail and the opportunities available to you.
