Professional Registration
As a clinician, employed in an area of work which requires membership of a UK professional body in order to practice e.g. UKCP, BACP, HCPC etc, it is a condition precedent of your employment to maintain membership of such a professional body.

Documentary evidence of your registration with your professional body or in respect of any required qualifications will be requested, in addition to evidence of such membership being updated and maintained.
We recognise that systemic barriers related to factors including but not limited to race, class, and gender continue to prevent many of our colleagues from accessing core professions. Given that most accredited psychotherapy training courses require candidates to have a core profession, these colleagues are effectively prevented from thriving and progressing in their careers.
Consequently, in the absence of a core profession, in addition to being able to demonstrate your clinical and leadership experience and commitment to CPD, you will need to provide evidence of a relevant qualification in CYP MH and evidence of having completed an accredited course in clinical supervision or eligibility for completion of an appropriate supervision course
