Job Advert Role Description

We are looking for a Sessional CBT Therapist to join our Outpatient Team, supporting clients with needs such as Depression, Anxiety, OCD and Trauma.

Successful candidates would be registered and preferably Accredited with the BABCP. Additional specialiams such as EMDR are desired to support some of our more complex referrals but not mandatory. 

Therapist are required to see a minimum of 5 clients a day and maximum of 6. This is mainly an on site role due to a large majority of our referrals being face to face currently however there may be an opportunity for a hybrid role if this changes. 
 
Sessional roles are based on a referral system which operates on an expectation of a 48 hour turn around to ensure our clients are seeing as quickly as possible for their treatment. There may be time that your days are busier than others but know at Priory Hospital Barnt Green, we aim to keep our employees busy, upskilled and supported the best we can.

Please note Sessional Therapists are classed as self employed and submit a weekly invoice to site. 
 
Additionally to this, you will be part of a much bigger team. At Barnt Green, you will work alongside Therapists, other Psychologists, Consultant Psychiatrists, Nurses, Catering Teams and more. Although this role is for our Outpatient Service, this does not limit the experience and day to day contact you will have with other professionals. As our services grow, so do our opportunities.
