Improving Access to Psychological Therapies
IAPT High Intensity Therapists
Starting Salary £29,789 - £39,273 (equivalent to NHS band 7 to 8a)

Rightsteps is a flagship pilot service developed by Turning Point that will offer new and innovative ways to deliver an integrated, holistic psychological wellbeing service across the UK. We’ll be working in conjunction with a number of PCTs across the nation to ensure that it reaches its full potential. Now we’re looking for you to play your part too.

Your focus will be to provide supervision across the service, delivering high intensity one-to-one interventions to clients. These key roles will see you designing, shaping and implementing the service, giving you considerable responsibility for ensuring that national Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) guidelines are met and that targets are achieved. Ultimately, you will pull out all the stops to make sure that the needs of vulnerable individuals in the area are addressed in the best possible way.

Ideally, you will have completed a High Intensity IAPT Postgraduate Diploma. However, you may have a doctoral level qualification in clinical or counselling psychology, or you may even come from a nursing, social work, occupational therapy, arts therapy or psychological therapy background. What’s certain is that you will have relevant training to, at least, postgraduate diploma level and significant post-qualification experience as a psychological therapy practitioner. Also essential is the need to demonstrate competencies that would ensure you are BABCP accreditable.

If you’re inspired by the social model of mental health that works holistically according to risk and need rather than diagnosis and would like to help us achieve our vision, we can offer a competitive remuneration package, pension scheme, and excellent training and development opportunities.

We are currently recruiting in the following locations: Wakefield, Bristol.  We would also welcome speculative applications for other locations in order that we may contact you as soon as a suitable vacancy arises.

To apply please forward your completed application form or CV with a supporting statement outlining the reasons why you believe you have the skills to contribute to our vision.  Please quote Reference No R420S2000 and state the location of interest.
