Would you like the opportunity to work in a specialist Veteran mental health team and help former servicemen and women deal with mental health conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety and depression? We are an expanding and exciting specialist service within SPFT, working regionally in the South East (across Kent, Surrey and Sussex) and nationally as part of the NHS armed forces networks for Op courage.

**We have**:

We currently offer a hybrid model of virtual and in-person therapy sessions with satellite clinics in Kent, Surrey and Sussex.

As part of the wider team you will be involved in multidisciplinary team discussions to offer psychological formulations to guide patient care.

You will be an ambassador and act as an advocate to support the veteran community.

We encourage flexible working. We know that a positive work/ life balance brings about huge health-related benefits, which has a positive impact on the care we provide. Please speak to us about flexible working, for example, home-working, part time hours, flexible start/ finish times or anything else. If it works for you and works for the role, we'll do our best to make it happen.
