We are a nationally recognised, high-performing, and innovative NHS Talking Therapies service aiming to support over 15,000 adults to manage their common mental health difficulties this year.

Staff wellbeing is a top priority with staff involved in a dedicated wellbeing workstream, annual away days and access to an Employee Assistance Programme.

The Oxfordshire Talking Therapies service follows a hybrid working pattern, currently aiming for staff on average to work for 3 days in a Trust office or clinic and 2 days from home.

Qualified PWPs are expected to comply with the national requirement effective from 10th June 2022, for PWP registration with the British Psychological Society (BPS) or the British Association of Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP). Registration must be maintained annually, at the practitioner’s expense. Please ensure you complete the section within this application form asking for your PIN. If you are awaiting confirmation of registration, please provide evidence of your submission for registration. Successful candidates who have not completed the approval process will be required to practice at a training grade (Band 4), and will be paid accordingly, until such time as the registration is confirmed.

We expect our staff to share and demonstrate our values and be caring, safe and excellent in everything we do, constantly striving to improve the quality of care we provide and the experience that patients can expect.
