Psychological Therapist/High Intensity CBT Therapist ICU

An opportunity has arisen in the Intensive Care department at Torbay Hospital to recruit a Psychological Therapist/High Intensity CBT Therapist in ICU.

This is an exciting opportunity to support the development, delivery and evaluation of a high quality and effective ICU psychology service.  Working within the rehabilitation team, the role will entail providing staff support, teaching and training, as well as facilitating 1:1 and group supervision.

You will join a friendly, supportive rehabilitation team, with whom you will work closely, to provide short-term and evidence-based psychological therapies and interventions to inpatients, outpatients and their families/caregivers within the Intensive care unit. There will be an emphasis on the clinical assessment and treatment of patients in the ICU at high risk of psychological distress plus consultation with relatives/caregivers, as well as the multidisciplinary team (MDT).

The role is embedded in the ICU but there is collaboration with the Trust’s Clinical Health Psychology Service.
