Do you have an interest in working therapeutically with babies and parents?

Are you able to commit to working in Oxfordshire?

We have an exciting opportunity to join the OXPIP team as a Parent-Infant Therapist in Training. 3 new salaried training posts (at least two of which will be based in Banbury) have been created for professionals keen to train as Parent-Infant Therapists.

We are looking for someone with strong therapeutic skills with a commitment to working psychodynamically/ psychoanalytically. Trainees will be willing to work for OXPIP not only for the duration of this 12-month training but also for at least two years after successfully completing the training.

For over 20 years we have helped parents and their babies to build close and loving relationships from the start of life. Our vision is to contribute to a more responsible and empathetic society through an intensive focus on positive early relationships and emotional well-being.
