Job overview

If you are looking for work that suits your lifestyle and needs, becoming a Dorset HealthCare Bank High Intensity CBT Therapist could be right for you.  

Our highly regarded Dorset Steps to Wellbeing services are recruiting Bank Therapists to support and expand our core CBT teams.

We are looking for candidates with energy, enthusiasm, and a high level of skills and experience.  All Bank therapists will work as part of a team and receive regular clinical supervision.  The successful candidates will offer a blend of face to face and remote therapy. The amount of remote working can be negotiated.

As well as competitive rates of pay you’ll be eligible for many of the benefits offered to substantive staff. These include:

• Access to the NHS pension scheme
• An NHS badge entitling you to many NHS benefits
• Unsocial hours enhancements (where applicable)
• Paid annual leave as a percentage of work completed
• Monthly or weekly pay – your choice!
• A comprehensive induction and ongoing mandatory training

Applications from candidates that require current Skilled worker sponsorship to work in the UK are unfortunately ineligible to apply for this position.

Employment in this post requires an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, which the Trust will cover the cost of.  Applicants who subscribe to the DBS update service are able to present a valid DBS certificate instead of requiring a new check.

Main duties of the job

You will provide one to one and group high intensity CBT within a stepped care model for adults with common mental health problems, including depression and a range of anxiety disorders.

Good administrative, time management and communication skills are also essential. Experience of working within the NHS or similar organisation is highly desirable. 

We encourage you to have a conversation with us about the role, so we can answer any queries you might have.
