***THIS JOB VACANCY HAS NOW CLOSED***
Closing Date: 25/05/2023
Location: Remote
Salary: Up to £30,222.00
At Help for Heroes, we help the Armed Forces community live well after service.
Life can be tough when a military career comes to an end, especially if it has been cut short by illness or injury. Overnight, people lose not only their job, but also a support network that is like family. There are many ways we help veterans, their relatives, serving personnel, and people who worked alongside the UK military. We help people with their physical and mental health needs, and a range of welfare issues. Our support gives people the skills, confidence, and knowledge to make a success of life after service.
And who are we you’re wondering? We are experts and beginners. Generalists and specialists. Ordinary people with an extraordinary passion towards making a positive change to the lives of our veterans (and having fun while doing it).
As One Team we share a philosophy – I.C.A.R.E. It’s the way we walk and talk, the way we interact with others and how we approach everything we do. We are:
Innovative – Collaborative – Authentic – Resourceful – Energetic.
We have an incredible opportunity for a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner to join our Hidden Wounds team.
Please see below for more information on what just might be your future role.
About The Team
Hidden wounds are a developing, multi-disciplinary, evidenced based psychological therapy service working with veterans, their families and loved ones. We have recently been accredited by the Royal college of psychiatrists QNVMHS. As a PWP within the service, you would be able to develop expertise working with veterans and their families presenting with a range of common mental health problems. You will receive supervision from a suitably qualified senior PWP and will work closely with other parts of the charity who provide recovery services and other types of social and medical support to our beneficiaries.
About The Role
Hidden wounds is a small but growing remote service consisting of PWP’s, accredited counsellors and accredited CBT therapists. In addition to case management and clinical supervision, you will receive regular peer support and attend reflective practice forums making it a great place for a therapist to develop their clinical skills. The wellbeing of staff is important to help for heroes and you will work a 35-hour week and have variation and flexibility within your role. Therapists will co-deliver psychoeducational online courses in conjunction with Help for Heroes recovery college and will work towards a city and guilds qualification to support them in this.
