Specialist CBT Therapist in Orpington inOrpington PUBLISHED THU 13 MAR 2025 Jump to job information section

Oxleas are seeking to recruit to a CBT Therapist (Band 7) permanent post to join one of our established and MDT integrated secondary care psychological therapies teams. The ADAPT East Team (Anxiety, Depression, Affective disorders, Personality and Trauma) is based in Orpington and serves the east of the London Borough of Bromley. This is essentially the non-psychosis pathway for secondary care, 18-65yr olds.

This is an exciting opportunity for the post holder to join a team that is currently piloting new ways of working with people with complex emotional needs. Specifically, the service is developing ‘whole team approach’ interventions such as SCM (Structured Clinical Management), alongside more established ways of working with attachment and trauma approaches (i.e. MBT, CBT, CAT, CFT, EMDR). Oxleas has a strong tradition in promoting psychological therapies and embracing different approaches.

Personal therapeutic interests and specialty development are actively encouraged and supported. This can be via formal training as well as established specialist supervision forums which are provided across the Trust.

The post holder will be involved in delivering individual and group-based psychological interventions as well as psychological assessments for new referrals into the team. They will contribute to the MDT and wider process of team working for complex cases.

The psychological therapies team includes clinical and counselling psychologists, as well as art and clinical psychotherapists. There is an established and respected regular reflective practice space for the psychological therapies team that runs alongside regular individual supervision provide by the Locality Lead Clinical Psychologist.
