Crynodeb
An exciting opportunity has arisen to work within the Complex PTSD Pathway within the Enfield Integrated Core Mental Health Teams (EICMHT). We are very happy to be growing our team with these two additional posts.
The CPTSD Pathway offers specialised trauma focused therapy for adults presenting with complex PTSD. We offer a phase-based treatment pathway whereby service users are first invited to a psychoeducation and symptom management group and later to individual trauma-focussed therapy. As a service we offer EMDR, Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET), Trauma Focused CBT and integrate Compassion Focussed ideas and ways of working. We are a small and friendly team who welcome new ideas and ways of working.
All clinicians receive individual supervision, as well as receiving monthly EMDR supervision from an experienced external supervisor. We will support applications for funding for further training necessary for the role, e.g. EMDR training. Prior experience of working with clients with PTSD would be helpful, but we will also welcome applications from clinicians with an enthusiasm to learn trauma-focussed ways of working who have relevant experience with other client groups.
Please do make contact with us if you would like to know more about the role and the team. You can contact CPTSD Lead, Dr Becky Johnson on 0208 702 5011 /Rebecca.johnson13@nhs.net
