Description
Partner with Priory as a Sessional Therapist – CAMHS CBT at our Wellbeing Centre in Canterbury. This self-employed, sessional role offers flexibility around the centre's needs and your availability. You will deliver one-to-one therapy, supporting clients to achieve their treatment goals, either face-to-face in our modern clinical environment or online.
Key Responsibilities
At Priory Wellbeing Centre Canterbury, you'll be part of a compassionate, multidisciplinary team committed to delivering personalised, evidence-based care. You will play a key role in patients' recovery, contributing to assessment, treatment planning and therapeutic delivery, while working within strong clinical governance frameworks.
What we offer:
- Steady patient flow – referrals are provided, allowing you to focus on delivering therapy rather than marketing your services.
- Credibility and trust – work alongside a nationally recognised provider of mental healthcare.
- Clinical and administrative support – access to clinical space, billing and administrative support.
- Flexibility – choose working patterns that complement your existing professional commitments and our service needs.
- Team connection – benefit from the independence of self-employment while remaining connected to and supported by an experienced multidisciplinary clinical team.
Skills, Knowledge & Expertise
We are looking for an experienced therapist able to deliver Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and provide high-quality, evidence-based care to our patients. You will:
- Hold full BABCP accreditation or an equivalent relevant professional accreditation appropriate to the role.
- Have a minimum of two years' post-qualification experience and minimum of 2 years working with Children and Young People.
- Demonstrate strong clinical judgement and excellent communication skills.
- Be confident working within clinical governance frameworks, including the use of digital systems, maintaining clear and concise clinical notes, and attending relevant risk management meetings.
Benefits
Partnering with Priory can remove much of the burden of starting or expanding your private practice while allowing you to maintain your professional independence as a self-employed practitioner. In return, you will receive:
- Competitive sessional rates with access to an established patient referral pathway.
- Autonomy – manage your own caseload while working within Priory's clinical governance framework.
- Flexible working opportunities – opportunities to work during the day or evenings and offer a blend of remote and face-to-face sessions.
- Minimum capacity – you will be expected to offer a minimum capacity of five sessions per week, with the opportunity to increase this in line with service demand.
- Background checks – DBS and relevant regulatory checks are covered by Priory.
