    Job summary

    We have an exciting opportunity for a qualified Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner with experience of and passion for working alongside the local community to join our Talking Therapies team.

    It is commonly recognised that many people in City and Hackney do not access their GP for support with mild - moderate common mental health care needs. The post-holder will lead on outreach and engagement with these underrepresented communities and increase access to Talking Therapies for people in our borough.

    The post-holder will also deliver assessment and evidence based low intensity CBT treatment to a small clinical caseload of clients with mild-moderate common mental health difficulties, in line with step 2 of the stepped care model.

    The post is based at St Leonard's Hospital in Hoxton but may involve travel to other community and primary care sites in Hackney. Full-time staff are expected to work on-site two days per week and work remotely three days per week, subject to change depending on service need.

    Talk Changes is a well-established service with a commitment to quality and service innovation. You will be joining a team of 35 PWP's, Trainee and Senior PWP's and 40 High Intensity Therapists with ready access to specialist supervision. We also have good links with regional clinical/counselling psychology training courses and substantial in-service training programmes.

    Main duties of the job

    Work as part of the Talking Therapies team to help facilitate increased access and treatment for all adults in City and Hackney
