Job Introduction

We are currently recruiting for exciting opportunities to join Turning Point and be part of our highly successful and innovative 'Improving Access to Psychological Therapies' (IAPT) service. Total Wellbeing Luton is an integrated Talking therapies service combining healthy lifestyles and emotional health programmes provided in partnership with Active Luton and we are looking for a qualified Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner Team Leader to join the team.

Role Responsibility

We are looking for an experienced qualified PWP who is ready to take the next step into the role of Team Leader. You'll join our team in Luton, working in and around the district, where we specialize in evidence-based psychological therapies. As a PWP Team Leader you'll be managing your own caseload, supervising trainees, providing case management to our established team and line managing staff. It goes without saying that you'll have prior experience and knowledge about this.

We offer regular masterclasses to upskill our therapists and support their career development as well as opportunities to access additional modality training.

The service in Luton provides person-centred, holistic and accessible wellbeing services which are flexible and creative, easy to access and navigate and responsive to the needs of local people. The service contributes to tackling inequalities in health through promoting and supporting people to develop healthier behaviours and lifestyles in the context of their own local communities.

In addition to talking therapies, we offer healthy lifestyle programmes including NHS stop smoking, health checks, and exercise on referral, social prescription, weight management and support with physical activity for people with long term health conditions.

As well as supporting the community with improving their physical and emotional heath, we also prioritise our staff wellbeing. We're based at Active Luton gyms and community centres, which all staff can access and use freely.

The Ideal Candidate

As well as being a qualified PWP, you will need experience of supervising a team in a similar role.

In return, you'll enjoy the scope and support to enhance your own life and career too, as you gain the experience and training you need to progress in your career with us.

You will also be able to make use of our digital platform to work remotely where available. The service operates across a variety of days and hours to include Saturdays and evening work to support our clients when they need it most, therefore we offer flexible working hours to promote a positive work life balance for our staff. We pay incentivised rates of pay for weekend working and additional hours.
