Role Brief: 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. You will work fully remotely via telephone and video, conducting structured assessments, delivering protocol-specific interventions, and making 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, and 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.
