The national NHS Professionals Talking Therapies staff bank is 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 role.
The NHS Professionals' national 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 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 they set it up.
