PWP Team Leader
Job Introduction
We are currently recruiting for exciting opportunities to join Turning Point and be part of our highly successful and innovative Talking Therapies service. Total Wellbeing Luton is an integrated Talking Therapies service combining healthy lifestyles and emotional health programmes provided in partnership with Active Luton and we are looking for a qualified Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner Team Leader to join the team.
We support people in the local area who are having difficulty in coping and who may be suffering from a common mental illness such as depression, anxiety or phobias. Our approach embeds the notion of well–being and recovery and promotes personal responsibility for lifestyle choices and self–management of mental well–being. For our clients, this has resulted in a highly accessible and user–friendly service available across a wide geographical area.
We provide excellent CPD opportunities for your ongoing growth and development. There are also many opportunities for career progression into areas of leadership or further clinical training.
We also offer the opportunity to manage your wellbeing by working flexibly and, as the service is open 7 days a week there are lots of opportunities to ensure this can work for you as well as our clients. We pay incentivised rates of pay for weekend working and additional hours.
This is a hybrid role - minimum 2 or 3 days in service according to service need.
We offer £1,200 joining bonus (for external candidates only).
Role Responsibility
As a PWP Team Leader you’ll be managing your own caseload, supervising PWPs and line managing trainees from across the service, and providing leadership across low-intensity service delivery.
Leadership skills are essential as you will both line manage and mentor therapists, supporting their development and wellbeing and working as part of a leadership team who work closely to deliver an ethical and innovative service.
The Ideal Candidate
We are looking for an experienced qualified PWP with supervisory experience who is ready to take the next step into the role of Team Leader. You need a registration as a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner with BABCP.
You will need outstanding written and telephone communication skills as well as the ability to work effectively as part of a team to support staff wellbeing, waiting lists and building relationships with external providers.
We particularly welcome applications from candidates with a special interest in cultural diversity, long term conditions, medically unexplained symptoms, veterans, peri-natal, offenders, older adults and learning disabilities.
In return, you’ll enjoy the scope and support to enhance your own life and career too, as you gain the experience and training you need to progress in your career with us. So, if you’re ambitious and focused on helping people with mental health issues, join us and add real value to their lives, as well as your own.
