London, United Kingdom Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust Full time

CNWL Talking Therapies Service Brent is a large, friendly and well established team which has good training and development links and also consistently meets its targets and the needs of the local population. Alongside high and low intensity CBT interventions, the service also has a counselling service at step 3 which provides brief counselling. Individual and group based treatments are provided as well as couples based interventions.

The service meets a high level of need, and also has good recovery rates and a vibrant community outreach programme. There are clear and well defined systems for triaging and screening of incoming referrals, allocation of clients to step 2 and step 3, management of waiting lists and stepping up and stepping down clients as appropriate. The team is also committed to promoting staff wellbeing and supporting staff development, and has a good track record of supporting step 2 staff with getting onto further training, leadership roles and retention within the service.

The successful applicant may have contact with patients or service users. As an NHS Trust we strongly encourage and support vaccination as this remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients and service users when working on our healthcare settings.
