A Vacancy at Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.
We have an exciting opportunity for a qualified Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner with experience of and passion for working alongside the local community to join our Talking Therapies team.

The post-holder will also deliver assessment and evidence based low intensity CBT treatment to a small clinical caseload of clients with mild-moderate common mental health difficulties, in line with step 2 of the stepped care model.
The post is based at St Leonard’s Hospital in Hoxton but may involve travel to other community and primary care sites in Hackney. Full-time staff are expected to work on-site two days per week and work remotely three days per week, subject to change depending on service need.
Talk Changes is a well-established service with a commitment to quality and service innovation. You will be joining a team of 35 PWP’s, Trainee and Senior PWP’s and 40 High Intensity Therapists with ready access to specialist supervision. We also have good links with regional clinical/counselling psychology training courses and substantial in-service training programmes.
