    It is an exciting time to join our trust, as we are well underway with our community transformation plans in line with the Community Mental Health Framework, to improve access and provision for clients with severe mental health difficulties.

    Our transformation has placed a lot more emphasis on lived experience and peer support, working in partnership with primary care and developing new links with the voluntary sector.

    We offer a number of opportunities for further training and development.


    The trust supports staff to access HEE funded training in EMDR, CBT and Family Interventions for psychosis, as well as opportunities to train in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and to co-facilitate DBT skills groups.

    The successful applicant will be committed to MDT working and to advancing trauma informed care across the trust.

    You will contribute to the delivery of evidence-based psychological therapies for severe and enduring mental health conditions, including psychosis & bipolar affective disorder, personality disorders, and complex mood, anxiety disorders & PTSD.

    The role is dynamic and will require you to attend multidisciplinary meetings and to offer supervision, consultation, and training to clinicians within the wider MDT team.

    For this role, there will be further opportunities to provide input into our Single Point of Access (Assessment Team) and Primary Care Mental Health service, to shape the way service-users access mental health services in Kingston.
