Tower Hamlets Talking Therapies are looking to recruit full‑time enthusiastic and motivated Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners to join our dynamic and innovative service.
Based in East London, we have provided psychological therapy services to general practice and the local community for over 30 years. We are a stepped‑care service offering evidence‑based interventions at Steps 2 and 3, and our team includes PWPs, CBT therapists and Clinical & Counselling Psychologists. We actively encourage different theoretical interests and offer specialist areas of development such as LTC/Eating Disorders/Perinatal.
Responsibilities
* Provide low‑intensity, CBT‑based self‑management interventions for clients with mild to moderate anxiety and depression.
* Work with people from different cultural backgrounds and ages, using interpreters when necessary.
* Take part in group and community engagement work, including developing and delivering large‑group psycho‑educational workshops and life‑skills programmes.
* Deliver assessment, triage, treatment, and mental health promotion activities within primary care and community settings, aiming to promote self‑management and social inclusion.
* Provide information about common pharmacological treatments and support patients in decision‑making for optimal use of such treatments.
* Maintain a minimum of 25 hours of clinical contact per week, demonstrating the ability to operate in a high‑volume stepped‑care environment.
In addition, the post holder will work closely with a range of trained professionals across various therapeutic orientations, including DIT, Systemic, IPT, CBT and Psychodynamic.
We have a firm commitment to CPD and offer high‑quality supervision as well as opportunities to participate in team initiatives.
The post offers the potential to develop specialist clinical expertise and to take a lead role in co‑facilitating psych‑educational group programmes across Tower Hamlets’ community. It is expected that clinical services will be organised to maximise direct clinical contact with service users, and contact hours will be routinely monitored and discussed through the Trust contract and performance arrangements.
Our values are: We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive. We are committed to equal opportunities.
