We are looking to recruit a highly experienced CBT clinician to join Hillingdon Talking Therapies on a permanent full-time basis.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience within NHS Talking Therapies, including clinical supervision of Trainee and Qualified CBT Therapists and Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners, line management, referral screening and triage, and participation in clinician on duty responsibilities.
This role is particularly suited to a CBT Therapist seeking to utilise and further develop their clinical, supervisory and leadership skills within a high-performing NHS Talking Therapies service.
The successful candidate will be based across our Uxbridge and Northwood sites and may be required to work from both locations in line with service need. The role also includes a commitment to one evening clinic per week, working until 7.00pm. Parking may not be available on site or free.
You will join a diverse and innovative team where collaboration, staff well-being and professional growth is championed. You will receive supervision from one of our senior BABCP Accredited CBT Therapists and have access to an extensive CPD package to support your individual development.
As a service we are proud of our commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. Our reflective practices provide space for our clinicians to connect, reflect and grow together.
Applicants for this position will provide service-wide assessments, CBT assessments for treatment and treatment interventions at Step 3 of the service, alongside supervisory and managerial responsibilities.
The successful candidate will provide clinical supervision to Trainee and Qualified CBT Therapists and Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners, participate in the Clinician on Duty rota, and undertake referral screening and triage of incoming referrals.
The role operates within a hybrid model of care delivery and requires demonstrable experience and confidence in delivering assessments, treatment interventions and clinical supervision through telephone, video and face-to-face consultations.
As an NHS Talking Therapies service, we provide Low Intensity and High Intensity psychological therapies within a stepped care model at Steps 2 and 3. Our team includes Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners, High Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapists, High Intensity Counsellors, Assistant Psychologists, trainees and a supportive administrative team.
We are looking for applicants who have enthusiasm for working in a primary care setting, who are adaptable, enjoy variety, and can work independently as well as within a team.
In order to be shortlisted for this post, applicants must be qualified and FULLY accredited with the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP).
Our service is part of the CNWL NHS Foundation Trust, with Hillingdon NHS Talking Therapies operating from sites in both Uxbridge and Northwood, with good public transport and road links to central London and surrounding areas.
Our service currently works a mix of site-based and remote working; however, this is guided by patient need and may change over time, so there is no fixed division between site and home working. CNWL operates a flexible working policy to support staff with a good work-life balance.
You will be expected to participate in extended hours clinics offered by the service, including one evening clinic per week until 7.00pm. The postholder may work across both the Uxbridge and Northwood bases in line with service requirements.
In addition to delivering high-quality CBT assessments and treatment interventions, the successful candidate will:
Provide clinical supervision to Trainee and Qualified CBT Therapists.
Provide clinical supervision to Trainee and Qualified Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners.
Participate in the Clinician on Duty rota, providing clinical support and risk management advice.
Undertake referral screening and triage responsibilities.
Support the development of trainees and less experienced clinicians.
Attend team meetings, training and service development activities.
You will receive regular supervision and support from a BABCP Accredited Senior Clinician, as well as benefit from peer support and guidance from other team members. The CNWL Talking Therapies Hillingdon Service has close links with Talking Therapies teams across CNWL and there are opportunities for further professional development within our service.
