Job description

We have an exciting opportunity for a highly experienced, motivated, and organised CBT Supervisor to join Lincolnshire Children and Young People's (CYP) Services.

Due to significant investment and expansion within our Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) and local Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs), the successful applicant will join our Skegness and Horncastle Mental Health Support Team.

This role offers the opportunity to provide CBT supervision to a range of practitioners, including Education Mental Health Practitioners (EMHPs), Cognitive Behavioural Therapists, and other professionals, while also maintaining a small clinical caseload delivering CBT interventions to children and young people within the service.

The role will involve supporting the development and delivery of a wide range of psychological interventions, assisting trainees to meet their training requirements, and contributing to the provision of training for the wider service.

You will join an established and supportive team of CBT Therapists, all of whom have extensive experience in supervising CBT trainees, Children and Young People's Wellbeing Practitioners, and EMHP trainees.

You will provide assessment and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for a range of presenting difficulties for which CBT has been demonstrated to be clinically effective. This is a clinical and supervisory role which, alongside maintaining a clinical caseload, will involve providing training and supervision to both Low Intensity Practitioners and Cognitive Behavioural Therapists.

We have a number of teams across the Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs), all at varying stages of development and training. This role provides an excellent opportunity to work with both qualified staff and trainees. The majority of this support will be delivered virtually, with clinical face-to-face work based within the Skegness and Horncastle area. As a result, the post offers a high degree of flexibility through hybrid working arrangements.

You will be enthusiastic, highly organised, and able to travel across Lincolnshire as required to deliver services. You will be expected to work independently, using your own initiative, while also contributing effectively within a multidisciplinary team. Strong communication and interpersonal skills are essential, as the role will involve coordinating and facilitating the CBT training offer across Children and Young People's (CYP) Services, as well as contributing to the development and delivery of continuing professional development opportunities for CBT practitioners.
