Job Introduction
Everyone's Turning Point is unique. It's the moment when they realise they've made a small, but important, step forward. Very often, that small step is the start of something bigger. But only when the right support, advice and services are in place. That's where you come in, working in our Talking Therapies service, as part of our highly successful and innovative 'Improving Access to Psychological Therapies' (IAPT) delivery model.
We are now recruiting PWP Trainees for our Wakefield IAPT service.
This is a two-stage interview process where you will need to attend an interview with the service and if successful will need to attend an interview with the university of Sheffield.
Role Responsibility
We support people 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 Wakefield.

Please do not apply if you are unable to commence employment on this date or you are unable to attend the University for face-to-face studying for the duration of the course.
You will be required to work on an outreach and rota basis in the community as the service operates 7 days per week and you must be available to attend the University 1 to 2 days per week.
The Ideal Candidate
If you're inspired by the social model of mental health that works holistically according to need rather than diagnosis and would like to help us achieve our vision, we can offer a competitive remuneration package and excellent training and development opportunities.
As a PWP trainee, you will at need at least 2 years previous experience of working with individuals who have encountered mental health problems. It goes without saying that you will need outstanding organisational and communication skills and the drive to become a qualified practitioner, as well as the ability to work well within a team environment.

What Benefits Will I Receive?
We know reward looks different to each person and so whether its ways to make your money go further, a culture supporting recognition and celebration, or opportunities to boost your career – we want to support you in every way we can with our total reward package.
You will get 31 days’ paid holiday a year, increasing with each year of service up to 33 days. Plus the option to buy additional holidays and spread the cost.
