achieve for our service users.</p><p>Having listened to feedback on the
support they felt would benefit them to develop their careers, we created a
specific skills escalator and compendium of internal training and professional

We are also dedicated to enriching progression
through regular appraisals. Opportunities for additional external
post-qualification training can be tailored to align with our clinicians

team of psychologists including a Consultant Clinical Psychologist, , Forensic Psychologist and
Assistant Psychologists, working as part of a specialist multi-disciplinary
team. The team are also supported by Positive Practice Workers, graduate
psychologists in blended role combining both support worker shifts and clinical
days with the teams. There are also regular opportunities to network with the

on the outskirts of Pontypridd, Heatherwood Court focuses on developing and
maintaining a culture of care that promotes recovery, gender sensitivity and
relational security. We believe in empowering our service users, promoting the
development of hope, strength and resilience to support people to work towards
lasting recovery within the least restrictive environment. </p><p>Heatherwood Court is part of the
wider Iris Care Group which employs
