3 weeks ago


Mitcham, United Kingdom South West London and St George's Mental Health NHS Trust Full time

Psychological therapies services across London are recruiting trainee PWPs as part of the IAPT programme to deliver evidence based psychological therapies for people with anxiety and depression. PWPs provide brief structured supported treatments such as guided self-help.
PWP training is provided by University College London (UCL) and is full time. Trainees attend university one day a week and work in service the remaining 4 days a week. Trainees will be employed in an IAPT psychological treatment service. Training course fees on this programme
are fully funded by the NHS. In addition, trainees will receive a salary from the London IAPT service where they undertake their 4-day a week placement over the year of the programme. In previous years, this has been a full-time employed position at NHS band 4.

PWPs work with people across the adult age range.

We are keen to recruit a workforce that is representative of the diverse local London population. Applicants should have experience of working with people with psychological, interpersonal or social problems; either through employed positions or formal volunteer roles. The course is a postgraduate certificate and applicants are required to demonstrate aptitude to study at postgraduate level, either through degree level education or demonstration of academic equivalence.

Merton Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) service forms part of Merton Uplift. Merton Uplift is a primary mental health service, which incorporates a Wellbeing Service, the Merton IAPT service and a Primary Care Recovery Support Team. The Merton IAPT service delivers a range of evidence-based psychological interventions (e.g., CBT, IPT, EMDR, BCT) to people with common mental health problems (i.e., depression, anxiety disorders and eating disorders) within a stepped-care model. We are a busy and experienced team who see people aged 18 and over for psychological assessment and treatment. Merton IAPT is professionally managed by a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and operationally managed by a Service Manager. The clinical team includes qualified Clinical and Counselling Psychologists, IAPT High Intensity CBT Practitioners and Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners who provide evidence-based psychological interventions in line with NICE guidance. Merton IAPT is a well-established service with a proven track record in supporting our trainees to succeed. In order to improve access, the service offers out of hour’s appointments and the post holder will be expected to work at least one late evenings during the working week.

Recruitment opens at 10am on Thursday 27th April and close at 10am on Monday 15th May.
This is for intakes that will start at the beginning of October 2023.
