CPFT were chosen by NHS England as one of the national exemplar pilot sites for the redesign and transformation of primary and community mental health care. The goal of this transformation project was to develop and deliver a new service paradigm that seeks to provide a more seamless pathway of mental health care and eliminate current gaps between services.

PSS was developed to try and address gaps in service provision, and we currently provide interventions for those clients who would have fallen into the gaps between primary and secondary care. The PSS is a Trauma informed service, acknowledging that, the majority of clients referred to the service have experienced some form of trauma in their lives.

You will be part of a team of Clinical and Counselling Psychologists, CBT Therapists; Clinical Associate Psychologists (CAPs); and Assistant Psychologists. We also have Social Work, Occupational Therapy and Mental Health Nurse expertise forming our team management.

As a therapeutic support worker you will fill an important position offering psychologically informed support and psychological skills to a group of people previously described as “not ready” for psychological therapy.

On a day to day basis the role will involve the following tasks:
