This is a hybrid role - a combination of service based and home working.

Role Responsibility

You will be joining Total Wellbeing Luton which is a highly regarded and experienced national provider of Talking Therapies service on behalf of the NHS. As a key member of the team, you will be working closely with our clinical team to maintain our high standard and help us to develop this further.

We support people in the local area who are having difficulty in coping and who may be suffering from a common mental illness such as depression, anxiety or phobias. Our approach embeds the notion of well–being and recovery and promotes personal responsibility for lifestyle choices and self–management of mental well–being. For our clients, this has resulted in a highly accessible and user–friendly service available across a wide geographical area.

As an High Intensity CBT Therapist you’ll be managing your own caseload providing evidence based treatments. You will provide assessments and evidence based high intensity interventions and you will provide therapy to clients with moderate to severe depression. We offer a high standard of in house clinical supervision and training with accredited supervisors. We offer regular masterclasses to upskill our therapists and support their career development as well as opportunities to access additional modality training.

We provide excellent opportunities for development in this role through access to training around areas of specialism such as supervision, long-term conditions, cultural diversity etc. You will work with your supervisor and line manager to make sure development and CPD plans are in place for your ongoing growth. There are also many opportunities for career progression into areas of leadership or further clinical training.

The Ideal Candidate

We are looking to recruit a CBT Therapist who has also completed EMDR modality.

You will need to have experience of working within Mental Health. You’ll have a proven ability to develop good therapeutic relationships with clients and working relationships with your colleagues.

In return, you’ll enjoy the scope and support to enhance your own life and career too, as you gain the experience and training you need to progress in your career with us. Excellent opportunities for both CPD and clinical innovation are available within the service. You will also be able to make use of our digital platform.

The service operates across a variety of days and hours to include Saturdays and evening work to support our clients when they need it most, therefore we offer flexible working hours to promote a positive work life balance for our staff. We pay incentivised rates of pay for weekend working and additional hours.
