We provide treatment to people experiencing gambling harms as well as their families and significant others, working in a trauma informed manner. These exciting new roles can be based in any location across the South West of England as we are a remote working team.

The roles involve assessment, formulation and treatment, providing Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Family Interventions, both individually and in groups. The role involves working as part of the MDT, participating in relevant meetings and processes, and supporting our wider network of partner organisations.

The role will involve working at least one evening per week according to service needs and there will be opportunities to get involved in research and service development.

If you are interested in being part of an expanding area of clinical practice then we would welcome your application. We have funding for 1 WTE, so there is scope for the role to be part-time or full-time.
