Join a growing, high performing team in an award-winning healthcare company

Vita launched a new IAPT service in Derby during 2020; now established and consistently demonstrating impressive patient outcomes, we are looking to grow significantly with a talented team of local IAPT (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies) PWP practitioners.

Ahead of lockdown restrictions easing and face-to-face delivery recommencing, individuals who can work within the Derby / Derbyshire CCG footprint are sought as we expand the local workforce. An element of ongoing remote delivery is envisaged and can be accommodated to varying degrees based on personal circumstance.

We welcome newly qualified practitioners and are keen to speak to therapists who can help us make a real difference to the Derby / Derbyshire community. Come and have a discussion about taking the next step in your career.
