We are excited to offer two opportunities to join Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust as a trainee cognitive behavioural therapist. The postholders will undertake a Postgraduate Diploma in CBT for psychosis, attending university one day per week with the remainder of the working week being based in one of our Community Mental Health Teams undertaking clinical duties.

This is an excellent opportunity for candidates who are keen to pursue a career in cognitive behavioural therapy and have some existing knowledge and skill in this therapeutic modality. We are looking for individuals who are highly motivated, able to manage the varied demands of work and study and are truly passionate about improving access to psychological therapy for people with psychosis.
