This is an exciting opportunity to join a diverse and expanding Talking Therapies Team in Barking & Dagenham. The Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner will provide high volume low intensity evidence-based step two interventions. This will predominantly be via telephone and video.

In addition to regular clinical skills supervision, we have links with the NELFT research department, reflective spaces for discussions around race, and Special Interest Groups such as the LGBTQ+, perinatal, and Older Adults groups. The focus of these groups is to increase accessibility of the service for these demographics.

Post holders will be expected to work one evening per week as part of the service requirements.
