Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner

The closing date is 30 November 2025

Lincolnshire Partnership Foundation NHS Trust (LPFT) is a Talking Therapies service. The opportunity has arisen for Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners based across the county. The Service provides evidence based interventions within a stepped care model for the treatment of people with mild to moderate common mental health problems. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a major national initiative, which has fundamentally changed the way in which psychological treatments are provided. Post holders will be expected to work at least one evening session a week and possibly Saturdays in the future.

We are looking for motivated individuals who are qualified as a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner holding the IAPT Low Intensity training course certificate in psychological therapies and registered with the BABCP or BPS. Please do not apply unless you hold this qualification.

Main duties of the job

The Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner will work as part of a multi‑disciplinary team to provide assessment and treatment of common mental health problems based on the NICE guidance. These include computerised cognitive behavioural therapy, psycho‑educational groups and guided self‑help; the majority of interventions will be based on a cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) approach. Interventions may be delivered as group work or individual work through telephone contact, computer messaging, email or face‑to‑face. Regular case management and clinical skills supervision will be provided by qualified supervisors. The service has a strong commitment towards Continuing Professional Development (CPD), staff wellbeing and providing quality services.
