Flourish - High Intensity CBT / EMDR Therapist

Our highly regarded Steps to Wellbeing services are recruiting for a New Role in our recently piloted Flourish service - part of the new Complex Trauma Pathway.

We are looking for people who bring energy, enthusiasm, and a high level of skills and experience. We are recruiting to West and Mid Dorset, Purbeck and East Dorset, North Dorset (Sherborne), and Weymouth and Portland localities. Several roles are available, and the flexibility to work part-time and across areas is available.

The Flourish concept is a shining example of a new, innovative service that compliments the complex trauma pathway across Dorset. Flourish is a PTSD/Trauma pathway for patients who require more complex psychological interventions than previously available.

Patients on the Flourish Pilot reported their treatment has changed their lives and in some instances cited it had saved their life. 100% of patients in the pilot agreed they were able to manage their emotions and look forward to a more positive future. We welcome you to join this exciting initiative to help empower people to transform their lives., You will provide one to one high intensity CBT or EMDR, alongside stabilisation and collaboration with Peer Specialists to provide the Flourish care model for adults with symptoms of PTSD and C-PTSD.

Good administrative, time management and communication skills are also essential. Experience of working within the NHS or similar organisation is highly desirable., Employment in this post requires an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, which the Trust will cover the cost of. Applicants who subscribe to the DBS update service are able to present a valid DBS certificate instead of requiring a new check.

At Dorset HealthCare we're on a mission to empower people to make the most of their lives through our outstanding, joined-up healthcare services. We're a dynamic, forward-looking Trust, running 12 community hospitals, specialist Mental Health inpatient facilities and a wide range of integrated community and mental health services for a population of almost 800,000 people.

We do things differently here - it's one of the reasons the CQC rated us 'outstanding' in 2019. It's also why 95% of patients across our services say they have a good or very good experience of our services and 89% of staff feel they can really make a difference. Whether you're looking to work with us in one of our bustling market towns, vibrant urban locations, thriving seaside spots, or among the rolling hills of Dorset, there are lots of ways you can make a difference in our communities.

Our 7,000-strong workforce is at the heart of what we do, and our success is a testament to our brilliant people. We're all about building a workplace for the future, we believe in equal opportunities, and we celebrate diversity. We're an inclusive workplace, where everyone is welcome, everyone can be authentic, and we are all encouraged to be the best version of ourselves.
