• Significant experience of working with people with mental health difficulties in a healthcare setting
• A commitment to equal opportunities

You will be based in Braintree, Essex and will be part of an experienced and supportive team. This post is a hybrid‑working role and there would be an expectation for the post holder to attend the office at least 2 days a week.

We are hoping to recruit a diverse cohort with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.

Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (HPFT) is an outstanding organisation with ambitions to match. We are one of just five mental health trusts to achieve an overall rating of "Outstanding" from the Care Quality Commission, and our aim is to be the leading provider of mental health and specialist learning disability services in the country.

Our family of over 3500 members of staff provide health and social care for over 400,000 people with mental ill health, physical ill health and learning disabilities across Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Norfolk, delivering these services within the community and several inpatient settings. We also deliver a range of nationally commissioned specialist services including Tier 4 services for children and young people, perinatal services, plus medium and low secure learning disabilities services.

The care we provide makes a fantastic difference to the lives of our service users, their families and carers - everything is underpinned by choice, independence and equality, with our Trust values embedded throughout:

Our Trust values are:

Welcoming. Kind. Positive. Respectful. Professional.

These values are at the core of who we are, everything we do, and how we do it!

Mid Essex Talking Therapies are a dynamic and innovative team. We actively encourage people to specialise in projects, alongside their core work. If you are looking for an exciting new job, then we are the people to come to.

At present the service uses telephone and video conferencing, as well as online methods of communication, to support patients to access and engage with treatment. There would be an expectation for the post holder to attend the office at least 2 days a week which is essential as we pride ourselves on having a strong, cohesive team, and we would expect the successful postholder to be integrated fully with our other PWPs.

PWPs work alongside High intensity therapists to support a variety of step 3 groups. The PWPs also promote the service with stress workshops, mental health training, and attending conferences and GP days. If successful you will also be working with other professionals to offer a service to people with various long term conditions.

A full internal CPD programme is on offer to all our staff, which runs throughout the year. See job description and person specification for details.
