We are looking to recruit a Trainee Psychological Therapist (High Intensity CBT Therapists) to work in our East Dorset CAMH team.

We are looking for people with energy, enthusiasm, and a high level of skills and experience. All staff will work as part of a team, receive regular clinical supervision and be able to access CPD.

Are you eligible to apply?

There are three routes to eligibility.

Please see attached Additional Information for these routes.

The course is due to start in January.

Permanent job roles will be offered on condition of passing the HI training course. There will be opportunities to progress to a Band 7 Therapist position within CAMHs.

On completion of the course, trainees progress to a period of supported preceptorship. This offers enhanced supervision, peer support meetings, and a reduced and triaged caseload. The Preceptorship will normally last 8 months and when complete leads to a permanent Band 7 post. On completion of the preceptorship applicants are expected to complete long-term health conditions training. Occasionally qualified staff working in the Southampton location will be required to work Saturdays.
