Description

Camden & Islington NHS Foundation Trust in collaboration with Islington Children and Families Services. HCPC Registered Clinical/Counselling Psychologist - Agenda for Change Band 8a (0.8 WTE, Permanent )

Camden and Islington Foundation Trust, in partnership with Islington Council's Children and Families Service, is seeking to recruit an energetic, self-motivated and lateral-thinking adult mental health practitioner with the drive and determination to work in an innovative service.

Applications are invited from psychologists and allied healthcare professionals (nursing, psychotherapy, social work or occupational therapy) with equivalent years of experience.

Current registration is required with the Health Care Professionals Council, as a practitioner psychologist or equivalent registration with professional bodies associated with your profession e.g.

Nursing and Midwifery Council.

The Psychologically-Informed Consultation and Training (PICT) service provides a workforce development intervention, with the aim of supporting staff to work more effectively with adults with complex mental health problems including personality disorder (not necessarily diagnosed).

The main focus of this role will be to provide a (PICT) service to professionals based within Islington Council's Children and Families Services to support teams to work more effectively with adults in families, who present with complex mental health problems.

We work with partner organisations like CAMHS to provide support to staff teams.

Working as part of the PICT Parental Mental Health team, the post holder will be supporting family support/intervention workers and/or social workers through:

Staff case consultation (either individually or in group session)
Liaison and navigation between different services in the care pathway
Training
Direct working with service users but jointly with the staff member who keeps case-holding responsibility (this is a much smaller proportion of PICT work).
Reflective Practice to front line staff.

The post holder will be required to work flexibly, independently and responsively within a changing environment.

Applicants need to be comfortable with outreach and multi-agency joint working and need to have experience in directly working with services users with personality disorder or enduring complex needs.

Applicants need to be confident in providing case consultation to staff from a variety of professional backgrounds and have experience of multi-disciplinary team working.

The above are core components of the post.

Due to Covid-19 members of the PICT service are working remotely at present, but are usually co-located with the Children and Family services.
