You will undertake brief CBT based interventions and support for the client groups, by providing a range of appropriate and imaginative responses, supporting individuals in difficult situations, including those who are distressed. An important part of your training will be to make decisions on the suitability of service for new referrals, adhering to referral protocols, referring clients to alternative relevant services, stepping up or referring back to referrer as appropriate. There will also be the opportunity to work closely with the wider multidisciplinary team, attending meetings and ensuring a stepped care approach is maintained.

Previous experience within a relevant health care environment, an understanding of talking therapies, as well as experience of supporting clients over the phone, are especially desirable.
