Overview
The role of a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner is demanding and fast-paced. During your training, you will be supported to develop skills enabling you to conduct assessments of people with mild to severe mental health difficulties, complete risk assessments, and deliver evidence-based interventions to people with mild to moderate depression and anxiety and other common mental health problems.
Trainees are expected to progress to working autonomously, with high volume caseloads including individual and group work; the role is well supported with weekly clinical and case management supervision from qualified clinicians. In addition to clinical contact, the role will include data collection, data management, analysis and note writing.
We are looking to attract people who have experience of working in mental health to work in our services in South East Essex (Southend/Castle Point/Rayleigh/Rochford).
Note: should we have a high volume of applications we will close the vacancy early.
This is a developmental post and suitable candidates are provided with intensive training and supervision to work in the NHS Talking Therapies PWP role and will study on the Postgraduate Certificate in Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner with the University of Essex. Expected start date for the training is 29th September 2025 – please note it is essential candidates can begin the post on this day.
Three days per week will be spent in service gaining invaluable experience assessing and working with people from local communities, with one day at university and one scheduled study day. This may be a combination of in person and remote learning.
