Summary
About the role:
We are looking for motivated and enthusiastic clinicians to start the High Intensity CBT therapist training with Lambeth NHS Talking Therapies. Trainees will undertake the PG Dip in CBT course at Institute of Psychiatry, Kings College London.
Why join us?
We are committed to helping to develop the people that come to work with us. We know our service can only be as good as the people who work here, and we will invest in you to maximise that potential.
We believe strongly in staff development and have excellent opportunities to develop this through CPD opportunities across SLAM. The Centre for Anxiety Disorders and Trauma (CADAT) is part of the service and brings nationally and internationally recognised expertise in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. High Intensity trainees usually have a 6-month placement at CADAT as part of their training year.
We are a high-performing service, recognised as one of the best in London. A major reason for this is that we listen to our staff, take their wellbeing very seriously, and continually involve them in the development of the service. We are an active and sociable team, and staff consistently describe Lambeth NHS Talking Therapies as a great place to work. Our main team bases are near Brixton tube, and we have two smaller bases in Streatham and Stockwell.
