Job description

Job responsibilities

The successful candidate will join our existing team of passionate permanent and associate clinicians and lead on the delivery of a range of psychotherapeutic interventions to private and healthcare funded clients. The successful candidate will therefore join the team equipped with extensive experience in providing and supervising a range of NICE approved psychotherapy interventions such as DBT, CBT, Cognitive Analytical Therapy, EMDR and Schema Therapy along with assessment skills in psychometric tools. Extensive experience in running and delivering DBT-based interventions is desirable but we are able to provide training and ongoing support through the existing expertise within the Charity.

You may be required to travel within the UK as part of your role and hence a full UK drivers license is desirable.

Your skills in managing risk concerns in a patient-centred and effective manner will be key in ensuring the service prioritises the safety of its service users. You will be equally confident in your ability to gather, interpret and analyse data to ensure treatment is being delivered effectively to both on an individual and service development level.

We have ambitious plan for our therapy services including introducing a new DBT service in late 2024 and you will have the opportunity to be involved in this too.

For further information about the role please contact James Farrelly 07827856634 or jcfarrelly@stah.org

Our patients and your colleagues will expect you to live the St Andrews CARE values of Compassion, Accountability, Respect and Excellence every single day.
