CBT Therapist

Full time
LOOKING FOR A NEW, VARIED AND EXCITING ROLE IN CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE'S MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES?

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our multi award-winning Mental Health Support Team as a CBT Therapist. This is a diverse and enjoyable role, in which you will support a small caseload of children and young people (CYP), alongside supporting our low-intensity CBT practitioners with Public Health England's Whole School Approach activities within our designated education settings. This includes CYP and parent/carer drop-ins, training to education staff, and workshops with CYP/parents/carers.

We are currently recruiting to our Spalding area.

The Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs) support children and young people aged 5-18 within school and college settings who are presenting with mental health or emotional health problems which are of a mild to moderate level of complexity and/or intensity.

You will receive regular group and 1:1 clinical supervision, alongside monthly management supervision and support from the wider team. MHST also works closely with our CAMHS and Healthy Minds Lincolnshire colleagues for support and shared learning.

MHST working hours are Monday to Friday 9am-5pm; however, flexible working patterns are always considered.

Main duties of the job

You will provide assessment and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for a range of presenting difficulties for which CBT is demonstrated to be clinically effective.

We have various teams across the MHST, all in various stages of training. This role will therefore give you a great opportunity to work with both qualified staff and trainees.

The role also offers a flexible style of working, as the team uses a hybrid model, offering support both face-to-face and virtually to education staff, children, young people, and their families.

You will need to be enthusiastic, very well organized, and able to travel across Lincolnshire as needed to provide services. You will be expected to work on your own initiative as well as work well within a multi-disciplinary setting. You will also need to be an excellent communicator and team player.
