Job overview

Ealing Talking Therapies is passionate about offering a great quality therapy to our patients and we are very proud to be able to consistently offer all the Talking Therapies-approved therapies, such as EMDR, DIT, IPT, BCT, and CfD. To that effect, we are committed to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) of our staff and training in additional Talking Therapies modalities is highly encouraged. We have close links with our neighboring services (H&F and Hounslow) and share our CPD events with them, providing an opportunity to link up with our colleagues across the Trust. Over the last year, our staff have attended in-house training in complex PTSD, LTC, OCD, perinatal, and many others. In addition to the standard talking therapies, our service is one of only two Talking Therapies services in London that offer an exercise group for our patients (Running to Better Health), which is consistently achieving high recovery rates and is highly regarded.

The management team at Ealing Talking Therapies is committed to staff wellbeing and we have recently commissioned a QI project on staff wellbeing, led by staff across the different staff groups within the team. As a result, we are now offering small, confidential reflective groups for our staff alongside many other exciting wellbeing initiatives.
