Description

Hounslow IAPT is seeking to recruit a Community Engagement Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner (PWP) who has completed the Low intensity CBT post graduate training and are looking to progress their career as part of our supportive and highly regarded team.

The Community Engagement PWP will be responsible for community engagement and outreach.

The post holder will need to identify, maintain and strengthen links with relevant local community organisations, multicultural community and faith groups, GPs and stakeholders including identifying potential barriers to accessing services and offering strategies to overcome these.

This post attracts an additional 5% 'golden hello'.

This is in recognition of the fact that Hounslow is an outer London borough and does not attract the full High Cost Area Supplement (HCAS) of the Inner London boroughs.

The 'golden hello' will be paid over 2 years.

We would like to hear from you if you are:

A qualified PWP who has successfully completed an IAPT PWP training course and has experience in IAPT.
Able to deliver high quality personcentred interventions that reflect local and national priorities and targets
A person with experience of working with people from diverse backgrounds, including using interpreters.
A person with a passion and proven record for developing successful links with the community
Able to demonstrate good therapeutic relationships with people
An inspirational and collaborative team player with excellent communication skills committed to improving access to psychological therapies across the Hounslow borough

What we offer in return:

A comprehensive induction and ongoing training & development, delivered in partnership with our neighbouring IAPT services.
A supportive culture that values worklife balance, including wellbeing activities.
Specialist supervision
Cycle to work scheme
Working from hom

There is a need to be able to work flexibly, with community groups taking place in different locations across the borough of Hounslow.

We are excited about expanding our team even further to include the new role of Community Engagement PWP which will appeal to a dynamic individual who is committed to equality and diversity and has a keen interest in innovation and service development.

There will be scope for you to develop and shape this role and the opportunity to learn Quality Improvement methods to evaluate and review your work.

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

We are rated good overall by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and together, we are 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.
