      To get my job…. tricky… perseverance. Keep going. Health Psychology is a small profession and so less people know about us, this means often the jobs aren’t advertised as ‘health psychs’ so we have to be creative and go for jobs we know we can do. I have been a Health behaviour specialist, a health promotion co-ordinator, senior public health programme and commissioning manager, health development manager …etc.

      Fortunately things are changing and more and more job titles are advertised for health psychs specifically.
