About the role:

The DClinPsy CBT Tutor will support the program’s provision of the training required for the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) pathway, linked to accreditation by the British Association for Behavior and Cognitive Psychotherapy (BABCP). The program is accredited for all trainees at BABCP Level 1 and for a subset of trainees on the Level 2 CBT pathway. The post holder will report to the DClinPsy CBT Lead.
