Advert
In this role, you will provide High Intensity interventions whilst undertaking the PG Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy delivered by Sheffield University which commences in October 2024. This training post will equip you to provide a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) service to clients with a range of common mental health problems in primary care, for which CBT is demonstrated to be clinically effective.
We are keen to appoint people who are committed to a career within NHS York and Selby Talking Therapies. On successful completion of the course you will be expected to work towards accreditation with the BABCP.
Upon successful completion of the course you will progress to being promoted to a qualified High Intensity Therapist position on a permanent contract.
The successful candidates will need to be flexible, well organised, evidence reliability and demonstrate the ability to cope with a demanding job. The post holder will be enthusiastic, hard working and able to meet specified targets in order to deliver a high quality service to the local population.
Working for our organisation
NHS York and Selby Talking Therapies offer a hybrid working model with a mix of homeworking and working from different venues across the York and Selby locality.
You will also be expected to be flexible and provide out of hours clinics and travel to different locations as required by service need.
The successful candidates will need to be available to travel to Sheffield University for the teaching days and commit to the year long duration of the training course.
IMPORTANT:

Detailed job description and main responsibilities
Please ensure you meet the High Intensity IAPT CBT Trainee recruitment requirements as otherwise you will not be considered for shortlisting:
Applicants must have a core profession as recognised by the British Association for Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) - see attachment for those that qualify
OR
Applicants doing the training who do not have a BABCP recognised core profession can enter via the KSA route, demonstrating that they have the knowledge, skills and attitudes required.
All candidates (CORE or PWP/KSA route) will be required to have 2 years post qualifying experience (from date on exam board) prior to commencement of the course.
Further details and common Q&A regarding KSA can be found in the Candidate Information Pack attachment
- A completed portfolio should be emailed in advance of your interview to [email protected]. The portfolio will need to be completed and ratified prior to the training starting in October 2024.
If you are a PWP, without a core profession, you will need to have a minimum of 2 YEARS POST QUALIFICATION PWP EXPERIENCE by the time the course starts (October 2024). If you DO NOT clearly show that you will have two years experience as a qualified PWP, you cannot, unfortunately, be considered.
- If you are invited to interview, you must bring with you any academic qualifications certificates and evidence you hold, as applicable.
- If you do not have a BABCP recognised core profession you must follow the KSA procedure and prepare your portfolio prior to interview. Please state if you have completed your KSA in your application.
It is very important you read and refer to the attached job description and candidate support pack for further detailed information prior to applying.
If the contract type on the vacancy states 'Fixed Term' this would mean the vacancy is being advertised to address a temporary need for the duration stipulated on the advert, however, in the event that permanent funding is secured for the post the successful applicant will be confirmed in post on a permanent basis.
Internal applicants must ensure that prior to applying they have agreement from their current line manager that they can be released on a secondment basis.
We are aware that Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is increasingly being used to generate responses for application forms. Applications for this role should be written by the applicant and if, during shortlisting, a Recruiting Manager believes AI has been used then the application may be rejected due to this document being an important part of the assessment process. This does not prevent applicants seeking appropriate support with applications should they need to for the purposes of any declared disability.

Please note: Newly qualified applicants or those due to qualify will be recruited via a separate process, for more information about this process please contact: [email protected]
