This is an exciting role for a senior Clinician to join a clinical service within Children's Services in Royal Borough of Greenwich (RBG) for 18-25 year old care leavers.

The postholder will provide highly specialist psychological assessment, intervention and treatment using evidence based interventions.

Greenwich has continued to be a fantastic local authority who has a mission to achieve excellence for every child. This is exhibited by a strong partnership with the health sector.

Greenwich is also setting up an Integrated Clinical Team which is a good example of bringing Clinicians into social care practice.

We are looking for a Clinician into this well-established partnership to help us deliver a service for care leavers.

The partnership is ambitious and inspirational for young people and families and the post holder will play a key role in helping this partnership deliver its vision.

Care leavers encounter multiple vulnerabilities including mental health and wellbeing issues due to isolation, loneliness and anxiety.

Our service sits within culturally diverse Greenwich and offers a rich and stimulating environment from where to work. There is very good public transport link with buses and trains.


The post holder will be responsible for the autonomous provision of a therapeutic service for service users experiencing a range of mental health problems, working to NICE guidelines for Depression, OCD, PTSD, Anxiety and other mental health problems, using a stepped-care model.


As well as direct work, the role includes providing advice and consultation on clients' psychological care to non-psychologist colleagues, local authority colleagues and carers.

There will be opportunities to develop and deliver groups / workshops to assist personal advisors to manage risk and improve outcomes for young people, and their families, as well as developing and providing relevant training.

This post provides opportunities to supervise to junior clinicians, trainees and other junior staff.

The postholder will be required to work autonomously within professional guidelines, consistent with Thrive Framework principles and within a complex and blended environment, fostering effective team working in an integrated manner, working in partnership with local authority colleagues to achieve the best outcomes for children.

There will also be opportunities to utilise research skills for audit, quality improvement, policy and service development within the area served by the team/service.

The post holder will share their time between offering direct work, consultation, training and service development.

Our services include community health care such as district nursing and speech and language therapy, care for people with learning disabilities and mental health care such as psychiatry, nursing and therapies.

Our multidisciplinary teams look after people of all ages and we work in close partnership with other parts of the NHS, local councils and the voluntary sector and through our new provider collaboratives.

Our 4,300 members of staff work in many different settings including hospitals, clinics, prisons, secure hospitals, children's centres, schools and people's homes.

We have over 125 sites in a variety of locations in the South of England. In London we operate within the Boroughs of Bexley, Bromley Greenwich and into Kent.

We manage hospital sites including Queen Mary's Hospital, Sidcup and Memorial Hospital, Woolwich, as well as the Bracton Centre, our medium secure unit for people with mental health needs.

We are the largest NHS provider of prison health services providing healthcare to prisons within Devon, Dorset, Bristol, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire, Kent and South London.
