Job description

We are seeking highly motivated and enthusiastic mental health practitioners to work and train within our service. The training post will equip the post-holder to provide interventions for children, young people or families using evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy. The post holder will work with young people with different cultural backgrounds and ages, using interpreters when necessary and should be committed to equity, diversity and inclusion. If you have suitable experience/qualifications and an interest in working with young people in a mental health environment and would like to further develop your skills, this could be the post for you. This role will be best suited for applicants that are able to balance a very busy work and study schedule. You will be an employee at the service but also enrolled on a Postgraduate Diploma course. As this is a Postgraduate level training, you will be required to study and perform at academic level. Applicants must be prepared to work towards their studies outside of protected study time (such as on weekends and after work). Protected study time or teaching days are typically two days a week during term (with possibility of extra university days near start) and will be a mixture of in person and online sessions. Applicants must be willing to travel to Derby University to attend their lectures. The post holder is responsible for the assessment for and provision of CBT intervention in accordance with Service and University guidance and supervision based on a comprehensive formulation of the persons needs and the development of a relevant treatment plan based upon negotiated goals and relevant evidence-based interventions. You must also be aware of the BABCP code of standards and ethics and adhere to these. The post holder, in conjunction with the multi-disciplinary team, will provide CBT interventions to support the person to meet their agreed goals and coordinate and/ or participate in the review of progress towards those goals, utilising recommended outcome measures, involving the service user and any identified carer throughout the intervention. Applicants would need either a core profession or be able to complete a KSA (submitted directly to University of Derby) with the application.
