High Intensity CBT Trainee - CAMHs
Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust View all jobs
Posted 20 day(s) ago
Reference: 2438016
Job summary
We are seeking enthusiastic, motivated and adaptable clinicians to join us as CAMHS Community High Intensity CBT Practitioner Trainees. This is a unique opportunity to undertake a fully funded Postgraduate Diploma in Evidence Based Psychological Treatment for Children and Young People (CBT Route) while gaining valuable clinical experience within a progressive and forward-thinking mental health service. The role is designed to equip practitioners with the knowledge and skills required to deliver evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) interventions to children, young people and their families.
CYPMH Dorset: A Service in Transformation
Children and Young People's Mental Health (CYPMH) Dorset is entering an exciting period of growth and transformation. Through significant new investment, we are developing and expanding our services in line with the i-THRIVE Framework, creating more responsive, accessible and needs-led support for children, young people and families across Dorset.
As our transformation programme progresses, this role will evolve alongside the service. Successful candidates will initially support existing teams from a temporary base during the transition period, before becoming part of our future service model. All posts are pan-Dorset, and candidates should be prepared to work flexibly as services continue to expand, including the introduction of extended operational hours in the future.
Main duties of the job
About the Training Programme
Successful candidates will undertake a 12-month Postgraduate Diploma in Evidence-Based Psychological Treatment for Children and Young People (CBT Route) at the University of Exeter. The programme combines academic study with supervised clinical practice, preparing trainees to deliver High Intensity CBT for children and young people experiencing anxiety, depression and related mental health difficulties. [HI CBT trainee JD | PDF]
Trainees will usually spend two days per week in university teaching and three days working within CYPMH services, developing a supervised clinical caseload and applying their learning in practice. Some teaching may be delivered online. Throughout the programme, trainees will provide evidence-based interventions within a stepped-care model and receive regular clinical supervision and support. [HI CBT trainee JD | PDF]
The course is BABCP Level 2 accredited and, on successful completion, trainees will be eligible to apply for BABCP Provisional Accreditation.
Following qualification, there may be opportunities to progress into a structured Preceptorship Programme, offering enhanced supervision, peer support, protected development opportunities and a managed caseload to support the transition into autonomous practice. Subject to successful completion and organisational requirements, this would typically lead to progression into a permanent Band 7 CBT Therapist role.
About us
At Dorset HealthCare we're on a mission to empower people to make the most of their lives through our outstanding, joined-up healthcare services. We're a dynamic, forward-looking Trust, running 12 community hospitals, specialist inpatient facilities and a wide range of integrated community and mental health services for a population of almost 800,000 people.

At Turning Point, we are recognised leaders in supporting people to recover from addiction and regain control of their lives. Our work spans substance use, learning disabilities and mental health, and we focus on providing timely, person centred support. By ensuring people can access the help they need through a single point of contact, we have grown into one of the largest providers of substance use services across England and Wales. We are now seeking a skilled and compassionate HCPC registered Clinical, Counselling or Forensic Psychologist to support the effective delivery of psychosocial interventions across our Southwest MHTR services, covering Swindon, Somerset and North Somerset.

Alongside operational colleagues, you will contribute to the effective governance of the MHTR services and offer thoughtful, evidence informed advice to colleagues, local agencies and partner organisations.

Contract: Initially preferably self-employed, with potential for future salaried employment
Hours: Flexible, to be agreed
Job summary
Bharani Medical Centre is seeking an experienced, confident and motivated Clinical Pharmacist to join our established general practice team.
We are looking for a pharmacist who has previous experience working in NHS general practice and is comfortable managing a broad range of clinical and medicines-related responsibilities with a high degree of professional independence.
The role will focus on clinical correspondence management, medicines optimisation, long-term-condition reviews, QOF performance and patient safety monitoring.
The successful candidate will be familiar with general practice systems, particularly EMIS Web and Ardens, and confident identifying, prioritising and actioning medicines-related clinical tasks within their scope of competence.
We offer flexible working arrangements, including the possibility of remote working where appropriate. We would ideally like to engage a pharmacist on a self-employed basis initially, with the possibility of progressing to a fixed-term or permanent salaried position as the role develops.
Main duties and responsibilities
1. Clinical correspondence and medicines management
The post-holder will take responsibility for managing allocated clinical correspondence and associated medicines-related actions.
Responsibilities will include:
- Reviewing hospital discharge summaries, outpatient letters and other clinical correspondence.
- Identifying and actioning medication changes arising from hospital or specialist care.
- Undertaking medicines reconciliation following hospital discharge.
- Updating medication records, repeat prescribing arrangements and relevant clinical information within EMIS Web.
- Arranging appropriate medication reviews, blood tests and monitoring where indicated.
- Identifying prescribing discrepancies, medication interactions and potential patient safety concerns.
- Escalating complex clinical decisions or non-medicines-related matters to the appropriate GP or clinician.
- Using Anima Documents and associated practice workflows to manage clinical correspondence efficiently.
The pharmacist will be expected to manage routine medicines-related correspondence independently within their professional competence, while recognising when GP input is required.
2. QOF and long-term-condition management
The post-holder will proactively review QOF registers and identify patients requiring clinical review, treatment optimisation or follow-up.
This will include supporting the management of patients with:
- Type 2 diabetes mellitus, including medication optimisation, treatment targets and appropriate clinical monitoring.
- Hypertension, including blood pressure reviews and antihypertensive optimisation.
- COPD, including inhaler therapy, medication reviews and appropriate monitoring.
- Asthma, including medication optimisation, inhaler technique and treatment reviews.
- Other long-term conditions where medicines optimisation and pharmacist-led reviews can contribute to improved patient care.
Responsibilities will include identifying gaps in care, contacting patients where appropriate, conducting structured medication reviews, arranging relevant investigations and updating clinical records.
The pharmacist will be expected to work to current NICE guidance, local prescribing guidelines and agreed practice protocols.
3. Patient safety and high-risk medicines monitoring
A key responsibility will be proactively managing prescribing safety searches and high-risk medication monitoring.
This will include:
- Reviewing practice patient safety searches and medicines-related CQC assurance lists.
- Identifying patients prescribed disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) who require appropriate safety monitoring.
- Reviewing patients prescribed direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), including renal function, dosing, weight and other relevant monitoring requirements.
- Ensuring appropriate blood test monitoring is undertaken for high-risk medication.
- Reviewing potential prescribing risks, drug interactions and contraindications.
- Identifying patients overdue for safety monitoring and arranging appropriate follow-up.
- Documenting interventions, outstanding actions and escalation appropriately.
The pharmacist will work proactively to ensure that relevant medicines safety requirements are met and that identified clinical risks are addressed in a timely manner.
4. Medicines optimisation and prescribing improvement
The post-holder will undertake targeted medicines optimisation work in accordance with local and national prescribing priorities.
Responsibilities will include:
- Reviewing patients identified through local medicines optimisation schemes and prescribing improvement searches.
- Undertaking gabapentinoid reviews, including assessment of ongoing indication, effectiveness, adverse effects, dependency risk and opportunities for appropriate dose reduction.
- Reviewing prescribing in patients with chronic kidney disease, including renal dose adjustments, medication safety and potentially nephrotoxic medicines.
- Identifying inappropriate prescribing, polypharmacy and potentially harmful medication combinations.
- Supporting cost-effective, evidence-based prescribing where clinically appropriate.
- Conducting structured medication reviews and making appropriate recommendations or changes within professional competence and prescribing authority.
- Monitoring and reporting progress against agreed medicines optimisation targets.
5. Patient-facing clinical reviews
The pharmacist will undertake patient consultations, remotely or face to face as appropriate, to support:
- Medication reviews and medicines reconciliation.
- Long-term-condition management.
- High-risk medication monitoring.
- Treatment optimisation and adherence support.
- Patient education regarding medicines, side effects and appropriate monitoring.
- Follow-up of patients identified through clinical searches.
Where the pharmacist is an independent prescriber, prescribing decisions may be undertaken within their area of competence and agreed clinical governance arrangements.
Pharmacists without independent prescribing qualifications will be expected to make appropriate clinical recommendations and refer prescribing decisions to an authorised prescriber.
6. Minor illness management
Where suitably trained and competent, the pharmacist may also support the assessment and management of common minor illnesses and self-limiting conditions.
This would be an additional desirable component of the role, rather than its primary focus.
7. Clinical systems and digital working
The successful candidate will be expected to use clinical systems effectively, including:
- EMIS Web for clinical records, prescribing and medicines reconciliation.
- Ardens templates, clinical searches and disease management tools.
- Anima Documents for clinical correspondence.
- Accurx and other approved communication systems where appropriate.
The pharmacist should be comfortable working with clinical searches, interpreting patient lists and independently progressing appropriate actions.
8. Clinical governance and professional responsibilities
The post-holder will:
- Maintain professional registration with the General Pharmaceutical Council.
- Work within their professional competence and prescribing authority.
- Follow relevant NICE guidance, local formularies and agreed clinical protocols.
- Maintain accurate and contemporaneous clinical records.
- Recognise and escalate clinical risks appropriately.
- Contribute to audit, quality improvement and prescribing safety initiatives.
- Participate in appropriate clinical supervision, peer discussion and continuing professional development.
- Comply with information governance, safeguarding and patient confidentiality requirements.
Working arrangements
The position offers flexibility in both working hours and location, subject to clinical requirements, information governance and service needs.
Remote working may be considered for appropriate elements of the role, particularly clinical correspondence, prescribing safety searches, medicines optimisation and remote medication reviews.
There may be opportunities for a combination of remote and on-site working.
We would ideally like to commence the arrangement on a self-employed or contractual basis, subject to the appropriate engagement arrangements being agreed.
There is potential for the role to develop into a fixed-term or permanent salaried position depending on service requirements and mutual agreement.

- Asthma, including medication optimisation, inhaler technique and treatment reviews.
- Other long-term conditions where medicines optimisation and pharmacist-led reviews can contribute to improved patient care.
Responsibilities will include identifying gaps in care, contacting patients where appropriate, conducting structured medication reviews, arranging relevant investigations and updating clinical records.
The pharmacist will be expected to work to current NICE guidance, local prescribing guidelines and agreed practice protocols.
3. Patient safety and high-risk medicines monitoring
A key responsibility will be proactively managing prescribing safety searches and high-risk medication monitoring.
This will include:
- Reviewing practice patient safety searches and medicines-related CQC assurance lists.
- Identifying patients prescribed disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) who require appropriate safety monitoring.
- Reviewing patients prescribed direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), including renal function, dosing, weight and other relevant monitoring requirements.
- Ensuring appropriate blood test monitoring is undertaken for high-risk medication.
- Reviewing potential prescribing risks, drug interactions and contraindications.
- Identifying patients overdue for safety monitoring and arranging appropriate follow-up.
- Documenting interventions, outstanding actions and escalation appropriately.
The pharmacist will work proactively to ensure that relevant medicines safety requirements are met and that identified clinical risks are addressed in a timely manner.
4. Medicines optimisation and prescribing improvement
The post-holder will undertake targeted medicines optimisation work in accordance with local and national prescribing priorities.
Responsibilities will include:
- Reviewing patients identified through local medicines optimisation schemes and prescribing improvement searches.
- Undertaking gabapentinoid reviews, including assessment of ongoing indication, effectiveness, adverse effects, dependency risk and opportunities for appropriate dose reduction.
- Reviewing prescribing in patients with chronic kidney disease, including renal dose adjustments, medication safety and potentially nephrotoxic medicines.
- Identifying inappropriate prescribing, polypharmacy and potentially harmful medication combinations.
- Supporting cost-effective, evidence-based prescribing where clinically appropriate.
- Conducting structured medication reviews and making appropriate recommendations or changes within professional competence and prescribing authority.
- Monitoring and reporting progress against agreed medicines optimisation targets.
5. Patient-facing clinical reviews
The pharmacist will undertake patient consultations, remotely or face to face as appropriate, to support:
- Medication reviews and medicines reconciliation.
- Long-term-condition management.
- High-risk medication monitoring.
- Treatment optimisation and adherence support.
- Patient education regarding medicines, side effects and appropriate monitoring.
- Follow-up of patients identified through clinical searches.
Where the pharmacist is an independent prescriber, prescribing decisions may be undertaken within their area of competence and agreed clinical governance arrangements.
Pharmacists without independent prescribing qualifications will be expected to make appropriate clinical recommendations and refer prescribing decisions to an authorised prescriber.
6. Minor illness management
Where suitably trained and competent, the pharmacist may also support the assessment and management of common minor illnesses and self-limiting conditions.
This would be an additional desirable component of the role, rather than its primary focus.
7. Clinical systems and digital working
The successful candidate will be expected to use clinical systems effectively, including:
- EMIS Web for clinical records, prescribing and medicines reconciliation.
- Ardens templates, clinical searches and disease management tools.
- Anima Documents for clinical correspondence.
- Accurx and other approved communication systems where appropriate.
The pharmacist should be comfortable working with clinical searches, interpreting patient lists and independently progressing appropriate actions.
8. Clinical governance and professional responsibilities
The post-holder will:
- Maintain professional registration with the General Pharmaceutical Council.
- Work within their professional competence and prescribing authority.
- Follow relevant NICE guidance, local formularies and agreed clinical protocols.
- Maintain accurate and contemporaneous clinical records.
- Recognise and escalate clinical risks appropriately.
- Contribute to audit, quality improvement and prescribing safety initiatives.
- Participate in appropriate clinical supervision, peer discussion and continuing professional development.
- Comply with information governance, safeguarding and patient confidentiality requirements.
Working arrangements
The position offers flexibility in both working hours and location, subject to clinical requirements, information governance and service needs.
Remote working may be considered for appropriate elements of the role, particularly clinical correspondence, prescribing safety searches, medicines optimisation and remote medication reviews.
There may be opportunities for a combination of remote and on-site working.
We would ideally like to commence the arrangement on a self-employed or contractual basis, subject to the appropriate engagement arrangements being agreed.
There is potential for the role to develop into a fixed-term or permanent salaried position depending on service requirements and mutual agreement.
