Job Summary

Post Graduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (IAPT High Intensity Training) at Greenwich, Time to Talk, Oxleas NHS Trust, and Royal Holloway University.

A full-time clinical training in CBT undertaken as part of a paid position as a High Intensity Trainee Therapist

Greenwich Time to Talk (Oxleas) has four high-intensity CBT training posts available for the March 2026 cohort at Royal Holloway University. These will be 12-month (Band 6) fixed-term contracts with Oxleas (or a secondment if you are an Oxleas employee and your current service agrees to the secondment).

The Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) Programme is a national initiative that aims to support Primary Care Services in implementing National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines for people suffering from depression and anxiety disorders.

The 12-month training in CBT is based at Royal Holloway University at their Euston Campus.

Main duties of the job

This fantastic opportunity is for existing mental health professionals to complete their training over 12 months as CBT therapists. The trainee CBT therapists will work within the NHS Greenwich Talking Therapies service, providing CBT to people experiencing anxiety and depression.

The training will take place at Royal Holloway University and will be mainly face-to-face teaching at their Euston Campus. Trainees will spend 2 days per week at Royal Holloway and 3 days per week working with clients presenting with anxiety and depression at our Eltham Team base. You will be completing University assignments and submitting practical tapes for supervision. Client work will be a mixture of face-to-face sessions with some remote/video sessions.

We are seeking dynamic and enthusiastic individuals who already have mental health experience and training providing psychological therapies, and who are searching for the opportunity to train in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. For example, you may already be working as a psychological wellbeing practitioner (PWP), with 2 years post-qualification experience, a mental health nurse, an occupational therapist, a social worker, a counsellor, or be a newly qualified psychologist.
