The Role: What you will do?
Vita Health Group and Insight NHS Talking Therapies are delighted to be launching a new clinical partnership, bringing together over 40 years of mental health experience, to support individuals and communities across Nottinghamshire. We are looking for pioneering, skilled clinicians to join us on this exciting journey and play a central role in shaping the delivery of NHS Talking Therapies for anxiety and depression across the region.
As an NHS Talking Therapies partnership, we are looking for qualified Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners, who can bring their knowledge, skills and passion for patient care to this dynamic service. Working within a stepped care model, you will deliver short-term, evidence-based interventions to clients presenting with mild to moderate mental health conditions.
Making People Better
Here at Vita, our commitment to making people better underpins everything we do. As a PWP, you have a central role to play in delivering that mission across Nottinghamshire. Using your clinical expertise, you will assess the suitability of new referrals through telephone assessments and provide short term, low intensity interventions via telephone, online webinars, and computerised CBT (CCBT). Where needed, you will work closely with colleagues at Steps 3 and 4, and external services, to support safe onward referrals and step ups, at all times maintaining and advocating for patient dignity, confidentiality and inclusivity.
We really do practice what we preach here at Vita, with a company-wide focus on staff wellbeing, a flexible and creative approach to work and a real culture of openness and support. We love to see our colleagues thrive and achieve their personal goals, so we place a real emphasis on quality supervision, rich CPD and encouraging our PWPs to take on leadership roles and training opportunities.
Getting to Know You
Each PWP brings their own unique skills, background, and experiences to their practice. Alongside this, you must have:
- A Graduate/Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) in Low Intensity Interventions (Adults)
- BABCP or BPS Registration (or submitted, awaiting confirmation)
- Experience of working with people who have experienced a mental health problem.
- An awareness of and commitment to supporting and facilitating diversity and inclusion
We happily welcome applications from newly qualified practitioners and are always keen to speak to PWPs who are able to work locally within Nottingham City and South Nottinghamshire.
Unable to work within the practice area? No problem! We also welcome applications from PWPs who wish to work remotely.
If this sounds like the right fit for you, we look forward to welcoming you to the team!
