Training course to be confirmed and funded by applicant and approved by university provider

We are looking to recruit several trainee high intensity therapists in our Ealing IAPT team on a one-year, fixed-term contract.

We are seeking to recruit people with either a core profession such as Clinical/ Counselling Psychology, mental health nursing, or social work who have experience of working therapeutically with CBT, or experienced PWPs who would like to make the transition to high intensity therapy.

If you are currently enrolled and participating on a Level 2 BABCP accredited CBT course, we are able to offer up to 3 days per week working as a High intensity trainee.

Trainees would be expected to work both remotely and be on site in Ealing IAPT.

Ealing IAPT was one of the first IAPT services to launch in 2008, and is one of the three services provided by West London NHS Trust.

We are a large team of over 70 members of staff and are currently working on further expansion.

Our main base is in Ealing where we have access to over 16 clinic rooms and two open plan offices.

In addition to this, we run clinics at GP surgeries across the borough, covering areas such as Southall, Acton, and Chiswick.

Our service is well-established and many of our staff have been with us since the beginning.

Clinical and line management supervision is part of our success, and as a qualified high intensity therapist you will benefit from weekly clinical supervision, monthly line management supervision, and monthly step 3 clinical skills.

In addition to this, we operate a duty system on a daily basis with daily debrief to make sure that all new assessments are discussed promptly.

Ealing IAPT is passionate about offering a great quality therapy to our patients and we are very proud to be able to consistently offer all the IAPT-approved therapies, such as EMDR, DIT, IPT, BCT, and CfD.

To that effect, we are committed to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) of our staff and training in additional IAPT modalities is highly encouraged.

We have close links with our neighboring services (H&F and Hounslow) and share our CPD events with them, providing an opportunity to link up with our colleagues across the Trust.

Over the last year, our staff have attended in-house training in complex PTSD, LTC, OCD, perinatal, and many others.

In addition to the standard talking therapies, our service is one of only two IAPT services in London that offer an exercise group for our patients (Running to Better Health), which is consistently achieving high recovery rates and is highly regarded.

West London NHS Trust is one of the most diverse providers of mental health, community and social care in the UK.

Our 3,982 staff care for people in hospital and in the community, helping them to recover and go on to lead full and productive lives.

We aim to be the best organisation of our kind in the country.

We provide care and treatment for more than 800,000 people living in the London boroughs of Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham and Hounslow, delivering services in the community (at home, in GP surgeries and care homes), hospital, specialist clinics and forensic (secure) units.

We're rated good overall by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

Together, we're committed to promoting hope and wellbeing, working with patients, service users, carers, families and partners across the communities we serve.

We are keen to ensure that our workforce reflects the community it serves, particularly in terms of ethnicity, gender, disability, LGBTQ+ and experience of mental illness.

The management team at Ealing IAPT is committed to staff wellbeing and we have recently commissioned a QI project on staff wellbeing, led by staff across the different staff groups within the team.

As a result, we are now offering small, confidential reflective groups for our staff alongside many other exciting wellbeing initiatives.

To that effect, Ealing IAPT recently won team of the month (February, 2020) in the Trust.

We are passionate about engaging all groups of our community, and as such, we operate evening clinics (up until 8pm) Monday - Thursday.

The post holder will be required to work one evening shift a week (12-8pm).
