Job Introduction

We are currently recruiting for exciting opportunities to join Turning Point and be part of our highly successful and innovative NHS Talking Therapies service. At Wakefield Talking Therapies, we specialise in evidence-based psychological therapies and we are looking for qualified Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners to join the team. We provide excellent opportunities for development in this role through access to training around areas of specialism such as supervision, long-term conditions, cultural diversity, etc. You will work with your supervisor and line manager to make sure development and CPD plans are in place for your ongoing growth. There are also many opportunities for career progression into areas of leadership or further clinical training. We welcome candidates that specialise in working with adults with a wide range of long-term health conditions and be involved in the development of new pathways for clients with LTCs. Role Responsibility

Turning Point Talking Therapies provides evidence-based interventions within a stepped care model for the treatment of people with mild to moderate common mental health problems. Whether you are an experienced PWP or you are newly qualified, you’ll join our team in Wakefield delivering step 2 low intensity interventions. As a key member of the team, you will be working closely with our clinical team to maintain our high standard and help us to develop this further. As a PWP, you’ll be managing your own caseload providing evidence-based treatments via one-to-one and group settings. We offer a high standard of in-house clinical supervision and training with qualified supervisors. We provide regular masterclasses to upskill our therapists and support their career development as well as opportunities to access additional modality training. Alongside managing your own caseload, PWPs also deliver a small number of psycho-educational workshops. The Ideal Candidate

You need NHS Talking Therapies qualification as a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner (unless demonstrably exempt through UCL assessment of competence scheme) and registration as a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner with either BABCP or BPS. As well as being a qualified PWP, you will need outstanding written and telephone communication skills as well as the ability to work effectively as part of a team. In return, you’ll enjoy the scope and support to enhance your life and career as you gain the experience and training you need to progress with us. We have an active wellbeing working group made up of staff from various roles in the service who work together to organise events, keep people connected, and provide information and support, helping to make this a really great place to work. We also offer the opportunity to manage your wellbeing by working flexibly. As the service is open 7 days a week, there are many opportunities to ensure this can work for you as well as our clients. We pay incentivised rates of pay for weekend working and additional hours. About us

You will get 31 days’ paid holiday a year, increasing with each year of service up to 33 days. Plus, the option to buy additional holidays and spread the cost.
