NHS Talking Therapies National Staff Bank

We are almost ready to launch our national NHS Talking Therapies Staff Bank and need your help! We are looking to build a pool of qualified psychological therapies staff that can offer flexible placements in NHS Talking Therapies services, ensuring quick and efficient workforce deployment. Individuals can be solely registered with the bank or can register alongside their substantive NHS Talking Therapies role.

The staff bank will help NHS Talking Therapies services to manage their capacity, maintain inhouse clinical governance and spend less on commercial recruitment agencies and the outsourcing of clinical activity – helping them to invest more resources directly back into patient care. The bank also aims to increase staff retention within the NHS that has funded their training.

A pilot of the staff bank will begin in the coming weeks and we are looking for registered/ accredited PWPs and HITs interested in joining the bank and undertaking clinical work within the pilot. Please note, this is not an immediate guarantee of work at this stage: this is a pilot so will move gradually in the early days as we set it up.   

Why join the bank?
  • Flexible working to suit your lifestyle
  • Work this week, get paid next week
  • Robust supervision and professional development
  • In-service placements ensure you are part of the NHS Talking Therapies team you are working with
  • Build holiday allowance
  • Pension scheme available
  • Book and manage placements online
Who can apply?
  • Qualified PWPs with BPS or BABCP registration.
  • Qualified HITs with modality-specific accreditation:
  • CBT, PCE-CfD, IPT, DIT, EMDR, MBCT, BCT, CTfD

Rates of pay
  • Top of Band 7 - £25.60 per hour for HITs (plus HCAS where applicable).
  • Top of Band 5 - £17.69 per hour for PWPs (plus HCAS where applicable).
