2 months ago


Truro, United Kingdom Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Full time

The Complex Emotional Difficulties Team (CEDT) is well-established and respected, with a history of developing innovative models of care. It offers mainly CAT and DBT as our two evidence-based therapies, and links closely with the Community Mental Health Teams, encouraging the delivery of ‘core interventions’ and DBT-skills.

The team run a weekly consultation clinic for colleagues considering making a referral or looking for some specialist supervision. There are also links with inpatient wards. The service has worked hard to be flexible in responding to diverse needs, whilst at the same time maintaining clarity of purpose and adherence to the predominant models of DBT and CAT.

Community Transformation is underway and is allowing us to review and expand what we deliver. So we are seeking an experienced therapist, also willing to train in our other models, and keen to supervise others.

We would like this to be a full time post, but will explore other options. Some travel is likely. Ideally you will already be an accredited DBT therapist. You may be in-training. Depending on interest in the post, we would consider someone with the right qualities who could begin their training.

An advert can only tell you so much, so if you are interested in this post and feel that you have the skills and passion for this work that we are looking for, please get in touch and we will happily fill in the gaps.

Work as a member of our team, contributing to consultation, assessment, therapy and evaluation.

Primarily to deliver Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), across all modalities.

Training, integration and delivery of other approaches is a possibility - namely DBT-skills, KUF training. family connections, Structured Clinical Management, and RO-DBT as part of the 'universal offer' taking place through transformation.

Liaison, supervision, support and training of our colleagues across the
service.

If required, support to develop the skill and experience to move into a DBT supervisor role (b7) when one became available.

We’re an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital-based care to improve people’s physical and mental health. We also provide specialist support to people with dementia or a learning disability.

We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you'll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.

Over 4,000 people make up the Trust. This includes doctors, nurses, therapists, plus admin and support staff.

We work in people's homes, in community clinics and bases. Some staff work from one of our 13 community hospitals. Our aspiration is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work and a great partner.

Approximately 568,000 people live here. A third of people who live in Cornwall are supported by acute hospital services in Devon. As a result, we also work closely with our partners in Devon. In the summer, and during other holidays lots of people choose to visit the area. This increases the numbers of people who use our services.
