An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist to make a major contribution to the Secondary Care AMH Greenwich community psychological therapies service.

The borough of Greenwich is both a challenging and rewarding place in which to work. Diverse communities and extremes of wealth and poverty exist side by side and the area is changing very rapidly. Greenwich was recently successful in its bid for IAPT funding and this provides an excellent opportunity for primary and secondary mental health services to develop together in a more integrated way.
Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust is an innovative and successful mental health and learning disability trust providing services within the southeast London boroughs of Bexley, Greenwich and Bromley. The Trust has a large, well established and supportive Clinical Psychology, Psychotherapy and Counselling department. This provides strong leadership and professional management and supports staff by prioritising supervision and continuing professional development. The department contains psychological therapists with extensive training and experience in cognitive, psychodynamic and systemic approaches. Service-related research is encouraged and supported by providing protected time for these activities. There are strong links with the South Thames (Salomons) Clinical Psychology Training Scheme. We have good working relationships with both managers and other senior clinicians, and psychotherapy is well represented at senior managerial and clinical levels. The Head of Psychology is also the Director of Psychological Therapies and a member of the executive team for the Trust. The input from psychological therapists is valued within the Trust and we undertake important roles, not only in clinical work, but also management, service development and clinical governance.
