Description
We are looking for an enthusiastic and skilled CBT Therapist or Clinical / Counselling Psychologist with IAPT experience to join our committed and hard-working clinical senior management team on a 9 month fixed term basis.
Wandsworth Talking Therapies is the Trust’s primary care mental health service for the residents of Wandsworth. It incorporates an Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) and a Wellbeing Service, and offers evidence-based psychological treatments (e.g., CBT, IPT, EMDR, DIT) to people with common mental health problems (i.e., depression, anxiety disorders and eating disorders) within a stepped-care model. The service is professionally managed by a Consultant Psychologist and operationally managed by a Clinical Service Manager. The clinical team includes qualified IAPT High Intensity CBT Therapists, Clinical and Counselling Psychologists, and Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners who provide evidence-based psychological interventions in line with NICE guidance.
You will be leading and managing the provision of a psychological therapy service to patients accessing triage assessment and Step 2 interventions within the service. You will provide both triage and clinical supervision to members of the Step 2 team and have overall responsibility for the smooth operation of triage and Step 2 activity. You will organise and lead clinical skills supervision and training sessions to the Step 2 team. You will contribute to the daily risk duty system and referral screening, supporting the safe and efficient running of the service.
You will work clinically within primary care settings and be required to work flexible hours in line with the ‘Improving Access’ agenda. The service operates from 8am to 8pm Monday to Friday, and 9 to 5pm on Saturdays and the post-holder will be required to work at least one evening per week including occasional Friday evenings and Saturdays. Working hours can be negotiated and many of our clinicians prefer to work condensed hours to allow for a better work/life balance. You will have access to CPD opportunities, including quarterly CBT workshops provided in-house by external expert speakers.
We are Proud to Belong at South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust.
We have expert services, a rich history and a clear commitment to providing the best quality care for those with mental ill-health. The Care Quality Commission already rates our services as ‘good’ - we aspire to be ‘outstanding’.
This is a great time to join us. We are transforming the way we care for our communities to support our mission of Making Life Better Together. We have built two brand new mental health facilities at Springfield University Hospital, which are amongst the best in the world. More developments are planned across our sites and services.
We are inclusive and diverse and strive to be actively anti racist. We want to attract people from all backgrounds and experiences to enrich the work we do together. We are proud to co-produce and involve our local communities in all that we do.
We offer flexible working, career development and a variety of benefits to enable a positive, welcoming environment in which our people and their careers can thrive.
Come and join our inclusive teams and help our patients on their recovery journey.
