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.

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

Role Responsibility

You’ll 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. 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.
