Essential Criteria:

• A Graduate/Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) in Low Intensity Interventions (Adults)
• BABCP or BPS registration or pending registration (if returning to practice and not sure how to meet registration requirements, we are happy to discuss prior to interview)
• Experience of working with people who have experienced a mental health problem
