Description

Working within the CAPE team, you will provide holistic, strengths-based 1:1 support to a caseload of clients. This support will primarily be face-to-face at CAPE but also include phone and video work where appropriate. When working in an outreach capacity, you will meet clients in the community for example at their GP surgery.

The role will involve you delivering both psychoeducational, well-being and therapeutic groups, including Interpersonal Effectiveness Therapy, Behavioural Activation Therapy and Compassion-Focussed Therapy for Psychosis.
