Job summary
An opportunity has arisen for a Psychological Therapist with extensive experience of delivering CBT to join our team of Clinical Supervisors. We are a large, high performing service, having consistently met the majority of our KPI's over the last year, consistently exceeding our Recovery KPI. We believe that the high standard of supervisory support and training for our staff has been key in achieving this.
You would support Qualified and Trainee Therapists by providing weekly 1:1 clinical supervision, ensuring that staff are supported to deliver safe and effective clinical interventions to those that access our service. You will receive the same support with additional support from our Senior Leadership Team, and have access to high quality CPD. We are committed to implementing service changes through the use of Quality Improvement (QI) and supporting all staff to be part of these initiatives.
Main duties of the job
In addition to providing clinical and caseload supervision to Step 3 CBT clinicians, you will ensure supervisees work safely and effectively, adhering to NICE guidelines and professional/service guidance. You will work closely with the Team Leaders to support staff, with your focus being on their clinical development. The Clinical Supervisors are very active in planning and delivering CPD across both steps, in response to staff and service needs.
You will hold a small caseload of clients, providing assessment and treatment for people presenting with common mental health problems.
Our treatments are delivered face to face, online via video platforms, and by telephone. We also provide workshops / webinars and computerised CBT (cCBT). Currently our supervisors work across all of Norfolk, delivering the majority of supervision via Microsoft Teams, but as we move towards a more place based model, we expect the supervisors to be based in a community hub, and to work from place for part of their week, combining with online delivery as required for those that prefer Hybrid working.
The clinical supervisor role includes having clinical discussions with colleagues in other services, and with secondary care teams in NSFT, ensuring all that we do is client centred, safe and effective.
