Job description

The Children and Young People's Psychological Training programmes (CYP-PT) (formerly CYP-IAPT) is a service transformation programme delivered by NHS England that aims to improve existing children and young people's mental health Services (CYP-PTs) working in the community. 

As part of this initiative, Centre 33 is looking to recruit two trainee ‘Children and Young People’s Wellbeing Practitioners’ (CWP) to join our existing team based within the ‘Someone to Talk to’ service. 

As a trainee CWP you will deliver brief, evidence-based, goal focused interventions to support young people aged 13-25 experiencing mild to moderate mental health difficulties. You will provide some ‘Guided Self Help’ interventions to support parents of younger children aged 5 -12 who experience anxiety and behavioural difficulties. You will deliver support in a variety of ways including both 121 and group work, workshops and webinars. Our blended offer at Centre 33 means you will be expected to work face to face and remotely via telephone and zoom depending on individual client needs. 

You will study part-time for the ‘Child and Young Persons Psychological Wellbeing Practice: Post Graduate Diploma ’ through University College London and the Anna Freud Centre for Children and Families. Your remaining hours will be spent working within our busy service, applying and developing the skills and knowledge you acquire in training to our client base. 

You will be based across either our north (Peterborough/Wisbech/Huntington) or South (Ely/Cambridge) and will be required to travel for the purposes of study and client work where needed. 

**You will have a minimum of a second-class Bachelor’s degree from a UK University (or equivalent) in a relevant subject (e.g Psychology) and evidenced experience of working with young people. You are required to meet necessary criteria for both Centre 33 AND for UCL and we advise that you apply  to both establishments simultaneously.
