EDT is an exceptional talking therapies service with excellent development opportunities. We are committed to the progression of our team members and our posts are formulated to allow for development of clinical expertise in chosen clinical areas.

Applicant should come with experience of delivering supervision and case management to PWPs and should be committed to supporting the professional development of PWPs.

The role will provide you with an opportunity to hold a small clinical caseload, alongside line management responsibilities of PWPs, and delivering case management and clinical case supervision. In addition to this, the post-holder will be responsible for supporting the senior management team with recruitment of staff and the implementation of wellbeing initiatives to support the retention of practitioners.

The post-holder will be working alongside the management team at EDT to support with their respective strategic areas.
