Highly Specialist Systemic and Family Psychotherapist

This post is for a Highly Specialist Systemic and Family Psychotherapist to join the Whole Family Team (WFT). The WFT is a specialist CAMHS service working alongside Camden Local Authority Children's Services. The team specialises in working with families facing complex difficulties, who work with several professionals and may struggle to access community services. The families the team works with often have complicated relationships with helping professionals. The team provides specialist interventions for families where there are issues related to complex trauma and attachment. In addition to offering direct interventions, the WFT offers a large amount of consultation and risk support (under the thrive model) to other professionals working with children, young people and their families., The Whole Family Team is co-located across a range of Camden Local Authority Services, including, Social Services, Camden's Specialist Education Provisions for children who have difficulties managing in mainstream schools and may have special educational needs, The Youth Offending Service, Early Help and Camden Children Centre Services. The post holder will be required to work in a flexible and outreach way in order to best meet the needs of the families and young people referred to the team. The postholder will spend time located within one of the Local Authority provisions and provide WFT CAMHS input to this service.
