HI CBT Therapist

We are looking for CBT Therapists or Clinical / Counselling Psychologists who are BABCP accredited or eligible for accreditation to join the service at this interesting time of change and expansion within Bedford.

Are you passionate about promoting meaningful and effective therapeutic experiences for patients at Step 3 and wish to expand your skills and knowledge, in a high performing service?

Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve. Our values are: We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive - so we are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues in the Trust and our partner organisations.

East London NHS Foundation Trust also provides Talking Therapies services in Newham, Tower Hamlets and a new Digital Service. The four services work together on joint projects, sharing good practice and opportunities for training.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a team that is moving into a new phase of development and expansion. We pride ourselves on creating an environment with "a leader in every seat" so you would be contributing your ideas and creativity to the ongoing development of an innovative service which meets the needs of our diverse local community.

One of the ways in which we achieve this is by running monthly focus groups organised around different service priorities, such as identifying, exploring and taking steps to address inequities in access, experience and recovery for people with protected characteristics. We also run monthly Equalities Forum, Journal Club and Modality meetings, are very active in terms of formal quality improvement projects and provide regular CPD events to support you in your ongoing development as a CBT therapist.
