Job description

Applications are invited for the above fixed-term part-time post working on the North Wales Clinical Psychology Programme, which is based within the School of Psychology.

The programme has been established for over 30 years and has recently been re-accredited by the BPS and has on-going accreditation from the HCPC. The appointee will be joining a small programme team and work closely with the Academic Director.

The main purpose of the job is to assist the Academic Director in organising the curriculum for trainees. This is an exciting time to join the programme to develop this area of training and practice. The appointee will be expected to act as a Training Co-ordinator for a small number of trainees. The Programme enjoys excellent working relationships with the Local Health Board Clinical Psychology services.

The successful candidate will have DClinPsy (or equivalent) in Clinical Psychology, will be registered with the Health Care Professions Council as a practitioner psychologist and also be eligible for Chartered Clinical Psychologist status with the BPS.

The University will also consider an arrangement, whereby the successful applicant would remain employed by a current NHS employer on their existing employer’s terms and conditions (up to the top of the 8a scale) and seconded to the University for the required FTE value. Such an arrangement would be at the discretion of the applicant’s line manager and potential applicants are encouraged to discuss this with their line manager ahead of application.

This role will be located on campus at Bangor. Through our Dynamic Working framework, there will also be the option to spend some time working remotely (although remaining in the UK) to support work life balance, which will be discussed further with candidates at interview.

The successful candidate will be expected to commence as soon as possible.

The appointment is fixed term until July 2029.

The programme will undergo its regular re-tendering process ahead of this deadline and the post will therefore, likely be extended.

Closing date for applications: 19 November 2026
