Iapt Triager

Work from home, or anywhere in the UK, by taking advantage of this brand-new opportunity to join ERIS, an innovative and forward-looking completely remote IAPT service, within the NHS, which places emphasis on staff wellbeing and development, particularly as we fully emerge from the effects of the pandemic.

This is a chance to work flexibly, within the service hours of 8am - 8pm Mon-Fri, and deliver individual therapy, triages and group interventions via a range of modalities, remotely supporting the work of the four community IAPT services in the East London NHS Foundation Trust (ELFT) which has been rated “Outstanding” by Care Quality Commission (CQC) and is committed to ensuring a healthy work/life balance and a positive working environment.

In-house supervision and line-management, paid administration time, bespoke CPD, the full resources of NHS IAPT and the support of an enthusiastic, engaged and inclusive team are just some of the benefits of joining ERIS. This is an extraordinary opportunity to join a unique NHS service at ground-level and to help to shape its future, while gaining or retaining all the benefits of working for the NHS.

Although the post is offered as remote-working, the service provides regular contact in the form of online video groups and 1-2-1 meetings/'huddles' to encourage interaction within a highly supportive and caring team. We have a monthly service online meeting where everyone comes together to receive updates on issues concerning all.

ERIS delivers a range of psycho-educational and low-intensity therapeutic interventions remotely via video, telephone and typed text-based sessions, following NICE guidance, ensuring the highest quality care for our patients and supporting therapist development through excellent supervision, line-management and bespoke CPD. Our posts are formulated to allow for development of clinical expertise in appropriate clinical areas.

The post-holder will work with people with different cultural backgrounds and ages, using interpreters when necessary. This vacancy is offered as a one year fixed term opportunity, with the expectation that all clinical staff offer one late online evening clinic per week (12pm until 8pm).

We are looking for a committed, enthusiastic practitioner - someone willing to contribute to the service and embrace different and modern ways of working.

ERIS is an NHS remote IAPT service utilising the most effective features of the IAPT model, delivered via digital media, in order to support the work of the ELFT community IAPT services and more widely. Using familiar interfaces such as IAPTUS and Microsoft Teams, we provide high-quality therapeutic interventions to patients across London and the Home Counties.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Triage Practitioner to join the ELFT Remote IAPT Service to conduct triages, assessments and dispersal to the most suitable evidence based psychological interventions in Primary Psychological services or refer on to internal / external services based on the clinical assessment.

The post holder will provide online and telephone assessment to clients with a range of complex mental health problems. The triage role requires the post holder to liaise with relevant services and agencies to signpost and refer on to appropriate agencies as required. The post holder will work with people with different cultural backgrounds and ages, using interpreters when necessary and should be committed to equal opportunities.
