Job Description

About our opportunity

As a dedicated professional in the field of Cognitive and Behavioural Therapies we want you to join our vibrant Adult Psychological Therapies team at Onebright as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Practitioner. You will be working with an articulate and interesting group of clients, who are motivated and engaging, to proactively support them in improving their mental health. Our CBT Practitioners work collaboratively with our clients to achieve the best treatment outcomes.


As a clinically led service with over 30 years' experience, Onebright has helped organisations and individuals navigate the challenges of mental health and wellbeing in the UK. We are proud to be a trusted provider of evidence-based clinical assessments and treatments, delivering high-quality services to more than 60,000 people annually.


Our mission is to create a brighter tomorrow by providing easy access to personalised, life-changing mental health support. You would be integral to our mission.


Our vision is to be the specialist provider of mental health services for practitioners and clients. We're driven by five core values which underpin our expertise delivering mental health support at scale.

We are client centred. We support each other. We are curious. We are committed to quality care. We lead with integrity and compassion.

Most of Onebright's clients are professional working people. These include but are not limited to:

Individuals and families with private medical insurance; Front-line health care professionals (e.g., police, fire services, NHS staff); and Corporate employees from sectors such as law, energy and finance.

Our clients typically present at the early stages of mental ill-health, are highly engaged and motivated to improve. Presentations are typically

subclinical to mild/moderate

, with

lower risk

than what is found in stepped-care NHS services. You will spend less time on administration-heavy risk management and safeguarding protocols, and more time delivering therapy when compared to the NHS. Our structured clinical assessments, provided by over 50 mental health nurses, manage safety into our clinical services.


In this role you will be working with adults accessing our services providing a specific number of client contacts per week, for a mixed caseload of sub-clinical and mild/moderate presentations, with a mean contact target of 25 contacts per week.


As a responsive and client-centred service we have an unrivalled ability to make a difference in lives, resulting in an exceptionally rewarding area to practice. Don't just take our word for it, be curious and read our clients' independent reviews about their experiences here at Onebright via their Trustpilot Reviews - https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/onebright.com.

You will:

Be committed to placing the client at the centre of the service and everything that you do; providing evidence-based treatments as indicated by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) - specifically CBT and EMDR (if trained to Part 2). Treat clients who have a range of subclinical and mild to moderate anxiety and depression presentations and apply the principles of CBT to other mental health problems where clinically appropriate. Demonstrate integrity and compassion within our culture of ED&I practices in every aspect of the role, above and beyond ensuring adherence to legislative statutory guidance, and Onebright policies and procedures.

What we need from you

Completion of a Post Graduate training course specifically in CBT. Accreditation with the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) as a CBT Practitioner. A minimum of two years' experience of working in mental health within public/private healthcare.
