Nationally IAPT (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies) services are expected to attract a substantial increase in patient referrals and, in particular, from Long Term Conditions (LTC) cohorts. This role is vital to ensure that physical healthcare and mental health care is integrated and aligned.

Therefore, we are looking for a flexible and highly motivated qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with a special interest, knowledge, and experience of working with people with long term physical health conditions to join the Blackpool Healthier Minds team. This role will involve leading the team with regards to further developments associated with the implementation of Long-Term Condition integrated working and providing Clinical and Case Management supervision to CBT therapists within the team.

We require a flexible and highly motivated qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist to undertake the role of Long Term Conditions Lead with Blackpool Healthier Minds IAPT Service.

The post holder will specifically deliver CBT to people referred to the service with long term physical health conditions and provide supervision to other staff including those trained to deliver CBT to people with long term physical health conditions. They will also take the lead in developing Long Term Condition Pathways with physical health services.

The Blackpool Healthier Minds team includes CBT therapists, Counsellors and Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners, providing psychological assessment and brief therapies to people with mild to moderate anxiety and depression. We also offer EMDR, "Stress Control" courses, and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy courses as well as a range of webinars to support health and wellbeing.

The post holder will work with clients who have a range of complex anxiety and depression related problems as well as a LTC. The post holder should be committed to promoting equal opportunities.

As one of the United Kingdom’s largest coastal resort, Blackpool has plenty to offer its residents -it’s not just a good place to work; it’s a great place to live. In addition to its bustling centre and historic seafront, the town is world famous for its many attractions, including the famous Blackpool Tower. Blackpool also offers a number of scenic cycling routes round our local parks and across the surrounding countryside, as well as boasting panoramic views of the coast on its picturesque Promenade. Further afield, Blackpool also benefits from less than three-hour connections via rail to Edinburgh in the north and London in the south.

Blackpool Healthier Minds operates from a number of community bases within the Blackpool area. We offer IAPT interventions and psychological therapies across Step 2 and 3 and have developed pathways with physical health services in line with the National IAPT Long Term Conditions programme, in order to expand and increase the offer of psychological therapies to the Blackpool, Wyre and Fylde population.
