Job description

Job Introduction

Everyone's Turning Point is unique. It's the moment when they realise they've made a small, but important, step forward. Very often, that small step is the start of something bigger. But only when the right support, advice and services are in place. That's where you come in, working as part of our highly successful and innovative Talking Therapies service.

We support people 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.

This is hybrid role - a combination of service based (minimum 2 days per week) and home working. The service is open on Mon – Fri 8am to 8pm and Saturdays 9am-4pm. Successful applicants would be expected to work at least one evening shift per week (12pm-8pm) and contribute to the Saturday rota.

Role Responsibility

We are seeking to recruit a High Intensity CBT Therapist who is either accredited or eligible for accreditation, with the expectation that accreditation will be achieved within the probationary period.

Dual training in additional High Intensity modalities is highly desirable.

You will manage your own caseload whilst working towards both service and individual targets.

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.

You will be required to work on an outreach and rota basis in the community as the service operates 6 days per week.

Interviews will be face to face in Wakefield and there will be no option for a remote alternative.

The Ideal Candidate

You must have a qualification in this modality and be accredited by the BABCP or working towards it.

We have an active wellbeing working group made up staff from within various different roles in the service who work together to organise events, keep people connected and provide information and support helping to make this a really great place to work.

We also offer the opportunity to manage your wellbeing by working flexibly and there are lots of opportunities to ensure this can work for you as well as our clients. We pay incentivised rates of pay for weekend working and additional hours.

About us

As a leading health and social care provider with more than 300 locations across England, we take real pride in the services we offer.

We run all of our services on a not-for-profit basis; instead, we invest every penny back into our services and people. We never stop believing in change for the better, and we work constantly to improve the lives of the people we support.

What Benefits Will I Receive?

• We pay incentivised rates of pay for weekend working and additional hours.
• You will also receive a one-off £1,200 joining bonus - T&C's apply.
• You will get 32 days’ paid holiday a year, increasing with each year of service up to 34 days. Plus the option to buy additional holidays and spread the cost.
