Steps to Wellbeing is a busy, dynamic service with a friendly, supportive team of qualified clinicians and trainees.

The role is both demanding and rewarding; it involves providing psychological interventions to individuals with mild to moderate common mental health issues in primary care. We seek enthusiastic and passionate applicants with good administrative, time management, and communication skills. NHS or similar experience is highly desirable.

All trainees will receive intensive supervision and support. This is a full-time role; part-time applications cannot be considered due to university commitments. The role requires face-to-face/office work and at least one evening per week (until 8 pm).
