Main duties of the job
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) among other difficulties. The approach we use aims to equip staff working with complexity, with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to understand the person beyond their surface behaviours.
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:
1. Staff case consultation (either individually or in group session)
2. Liaison and navigation between different services in the care pathway
3. Training
4. 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).
5. Reflective Practice to front line staff.

Job descriptionJob responsibilities
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.
Members of the PICT service are typically co-located in person with Children and Family services, and this is an expectation of the role, with the possibility of some flexibility around remote working in discussion with the PICT lead and balancing the needs of the service.
We encourage and welcome applications from all sections of the community and are committed to equal opportunities.
