Job summary
Come and work for a successful Low Intensity Talking Therapies service with an excellent reputation for delivering high quality patient care and consistently high recovery rates. You will be employed by Richmond Borough Mind which runs the Step 2 element of the Richmond NHS Talking Therapies Service, led by South West London and St. Georges Mental Health NHS Trust (SWLStG). We work closely with our Step 3 High Intensity colleagues in this co-located service in Twickenham.
The role will involve a mix of remote and hybrid working, however this may change depending on service needs. Please note that all staff would need to come in person to manage equipment, for client work and for occasional meetings.
RB Mind and SWLStG are making a positive difference to thousands of people's lives, providing support so that they can fulfil their potential and enjoy healthy lives.
Main duties of the job
Qualified in Low Intensity work, with the recognised Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner (PWP) qualification, you will be enthusiastic, self-motivated and able to meet the demands of a challenging but rewarding role. Opportunity to train as a supervising PWP could be open to suitably experienced PWPs. You will be managing your own caseload through delivering groups and workshops, offering CCBT and individual guided self-help. Regular clinical supervision will be provided by the Clinical or Service lead, in addition to regular line management and training opportunities.
RB Mind is committed to clinical excellence and ensuring continuing professional development for our staff team by developing their skills and special interests. Each PWP is able to champion an area of interest to them within the service, involving learning and outreach. For personal development you will have access to expertise from both the Trust and the local Mind network.
Activities run throughout the week, including evenings and your rota will be agreed in advance.
About us
You will be working with a team of dynamic, dedicated and committed Senior PWPs, PWPs and Trainees and be part of successful teams at both RB Mind and our partners, South West London and St. Georges Mental Health NHS Trust. Following RB Minds staff happiness survey, all PWPs said they were highly motivated, found their job worthwhile, had good relationships within the team and that RB Mind are a good organisation to work for. Many of our PWPs have gone on to high intensity training within the service.
Based near central Twickenham you may be part home-based and also able to travel throughout the Borough of Richmond to ensure that our service is responsive to the needs of all communities.
