Description

We are looking for a compassionate practitioner who is self motivated, tenacious, and can use their initiative when working with this vulnerable group of children and young people.

You need to be skilled in communicating with young people and professionals, and adept at keeping data and driving forward excellence in Children Looked After practice.

You will be working with a highly motivated team of professionals who ensure that "no stone is left unturned" to provide for all aspects of health to our cohort.

As an NHS Trust we strongly encourage and support vaccination as this remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients and service users when working on our healthcare settings.

This post will contribute to improving the health of Camden's Children Looked After through promoting and supporting children and young people to develop healthier behaviours and lifestyles.

It focuses on engaging with individuals and groups, using motivational interviewing and empathic skills, offering them practical support to change their behaviour to achieve their own choices and goals, as well as being a practical resource to help connect foster carers, children and young people (including separated children) into services at a local level.

To enter client data into the relevant computer-based data entry systems, to create reports from the database as necessary and to manage other information systems.

Our Values
What we believe in

Compassion:

We recognise and respond to the suffering of others. This means
we all contribute to a compassionate environment for everyone;
what we say and do helps make the lives of others better.

Respect:

We respect and value the diversity, rights, assets and limitations
of others, to create a respectful and inclusive environment. This
applies to our colleagues, partners, the individuals we care for
and their families and friends.

Empowerment:

We will involve, inform and empower those we care for and
work with to take an active role in the management of their
own lives and wellbeing. We will strive to offer appropriate
direction and support, to enable others to develop and grow.

Partnership:

We will work closely with others, in line with our other values,
to ensure that our combined efforts are focused on achieving
the best possible outcomes. We will strive for co-production in
all our work with colleagues and those we care for.
