Family Interventions Therapist

This is an exciting opportunity for a new staff member to contribute to the provision for delivery of family interventions and carer support within LEO, as well as communicating and advocating for family and carer perspectives in the work of the team more broadly. The successful candidate will work alongside staff from a range of professional backgrounds in supporting clients towards recovery and well-being., The post-holder will meet with a caseload of families for Family Intervention in Psychosis (FIp), as well as providing courses of individual carer support and contributing to carer support groups, and managing referral and waiting list processes relating to these interventions. As a specialist in this work, the post-holder will also ensure that family and carer perspectives are a visible and influential part of the team's thinking, and will support other staff members to consider systemic or contextual aspects of distress, impairment, and recovery.

LEO is a specialist multidisciplinary community mental health team who work with adults aged 18-65 experiencing a first episode of psychosis. We work assertively and intensively with service users and carers for up to two years, to promote engagement with the team and to deliver a range of interventions aimed at facilitating social inclusion and recovery.
