[Hiring] Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner @Spectrum.Life

Role Description

We are a clinically governed mental health provider that uses technology to widen access and improve outcomes. We are now building out our Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner workforce to deliver Step 2 care within this model — with the governance infrastructure, the evidence base, and the leadership to do it properly.

If you are a qualified PWP with real NHS Talking Therapies or IAPT experience and you are ready to do the work you trained for — without the systemic pressures that so often get in the way — this role was built for you. At Spectrum.Life, we have designed a clinical model around what the evidence says works: NICE-aligned stepped care, proper clinical governance, and the infrastructure to let you focus on what matters.

As a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner at Spectrum.Life, you will:

• Deliver evidence-based low-intensity cognitive behavioural interventions to adults experiencing mild-to-moderate anxiety disorders and depression.
• Work fully remotely via telephone and video.
• Conduct structured assessments.
• Deliver protocol-specific interventions.
• Make clinically sound stepped care decisions within our four-step clinical model.

Proper clinical governance. Always.

You will work within a clearly defined NICE-aligned stepped care framework with:

• Clinical supervision.
• Structured case management.
• Regular PROMs tracking.
• A clear escalation pathway.

Your scope of practice is protected, not blurred. Step 2 that is truly Step 2.

Your caseload is drawn from Steps 1 and 2 — the presentations your training was designed for. You will not be managing complexity that sits beyond your scope. High-intensity cases step up through a clear and supported pathway to accredited therapists.

Qualifications

• Qualified PWP with BPS-accredited Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) or Graduate Certificate in Low-Intensity Psychological Interventions.
• Current registration with BABCP (Wellbeing Practitioner Register) or BPS (Wider Psychological Workforce Register).
• Minimum three years post-qualification experience within NHS Talking Therapies or an IAPT-equivalent service.
• Demonstrable competence across the full range of NICE-recommended LI-CBT protocols: Behavioural Activation, Graded Exposure, Worry Management, Problem-Solving, Panic Management, Sleep Improvement, and Guided Self-Help.
• Skilled in telephone and video-delivered assessment and intervention — this is your primary medium.
• Confident working with standardised outcome measures: PHQ-9, GAD-7, and WSAS, with an understanding of reliable recovery and reliable improvement benchmarks.
• Commitment to regular clinical case management supervision (CCMS) and ongoing CPD.
• Ability to manage an active caseload with strong organisation, documentation, and risk management skills.

Benefits

• Fully remote working — no travel requirements, no commute, full digital infrastructure provided.
• Full-time or Part-time permanent contract.
• Salary benchmarked at the top of NHS Band 5 / lower Band 6 equivalent.
• Weekly individual clinical case management supervision meeting, minimum one hour, aligned to NHS Talking Therapies Manual requirements.
• Structured CPD programme with protected time for professional development and BABCP / BPS registration maintenance.
• Technology that works with you — digital infrastructure designed to support clinical delivery and reduce administrative burden.
• Clear stepped care governance with no ambiguity about your scope of practice.
• A team led by clinical leaders with deep NHS Talking Therapies and IAPT experience — people who understand what it means to do this work well.
• Opportunity to help shape a new model of evidence-based EAP care that could influence how low-intensity therapy is delivered at scale.
