Job description

The Psychological Well-being Service (PWS) is looking to recruit qualified High Intensity Therapists (HITs) across the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough counties. These positions are also open to suitably qualified individuals seeking developmental opportunities at Band 6. These may include candidates who are looking to get an IAPT recognised modality, including Counselling for Depression (CfD), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), Behavioural Couples Counselling or Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT).

The post holder is required to have professional accreditation with BABCP or should be eligible for accreditation with this professional body and actively undertaking the process of applying for accreditation. This would be expected within 3-6 months of starting in post.

The PWS is currently operating a hybrid working pattern. This means 80% of the work is done remotely and 20% is in-person. However, this is subject to review according to service need and Trust’s directive at any given time.
