The Role: What you will do?
**Are you ready to bring your passion, personality, creativity, and clinical expertise to a role that makes a real difference? Are you looking for a team who supports, celebrates, and invests in you? Are you keen to champion patient care, clinical excellence, and service development?**

**If so, Vita Health Group is the place for you**

**Getting to know Us**

Hello We are VitaMinds Derbyshire - we work in partnership with Joined Up Care Derbyshire, to support individuals aged 18+ across Derby and Derbyshire.

As one of five IAPT providers in the area, our clients can choose the service that works best for them, putting patient choice right at the centre of therapy from the outset. We are super proud of the work we do at Step 2 and see the life-changing impact of our practice every single day

We really do practice what we preach here at Vita, with a company-wide focus on staff wellbeing, a flexible and creative approach to work and a real culture of openness and support. We love to see our colleagues thrive and achieve their personal goals, so we place a real emphasis on quality supervision, rich CPD and encouraging our PWPs to take on leadership roles and training opportunities.

**Making People Better**

As a qualified PWP, you have a vital role to play in the service we provide to our clients.

Using your clinical expertise, you will assess the suitability of new referrals through telephone assessments and provide short term, low intensity interventions via telephone, online webinars, and computerised CBT (CCBT). Where needed, you will work closely with colleagues at Steps 3 and 4, and external services, to support safe onward referrals and step ups, at all times maintaining and advocating for patient dignity, confidentiality and inclusivity.

**Getting to know You**

Each PWP brings their own unique skills, background, and experiences to their practice. Alongside this, we are also looking for:

- A Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) in Low Intensity Interventions (Adults)
- BABCP or BPS Registration (or submitted, awaiting confirmation)
- Experience of working with people who have experienced a mental health problem
- An awareness of and commitment to supporting and facilitating diversity and inclusion

If this sounds like the right fit for you, we look forward to welcoming you to the team
