Summary
A Vacancy at Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust.

The service is based across Chelsea & Westminster Hospital and Parkview Centre (Shepherds Bush).

This is an exciting time for the CCDS as we recently received funding to expand the service. The work is varied and stimulating, covering both assessment and intervention, as part of a multidisciplinary team (paediatricians, speech and language therapists, specialist nurses, occupational therapists, and music therapists). The post-holder will have the opportunity to contribute to service development initiatives and research. The post provides an opportunity to develop skills in neurodevelopmental assessments, and to take advantage of the excellent CPD offer within CNWL. The post holder will be line managed and clinically supervised by the lead consultant clinical psychologist for the CCDS.

To provide a high quality clinical psychology service for children with complex neurodevelopmental difficulties and their families. This includes both assessment and intervention work (individual and group). To offer advice and consultation to non-psychology colleagues, to ensure that issues relating to psychological care of the child and their family are addressed. To work in conjunction with parents, carers, statutory and non-statutory agencies to ensure a holistic approach to assessment and intervention. To offer clinical supervision to trainees on placement within the service and to contribute to service development and research initiatives.
The post would suit both those already in an 8a post, but also those looking to progress in their career. We are also happy to consider applications from newly/recently qualified clinical psychologists with a particular interest in this area, who would be employed at band 7.
The successful applicant will have contact with patients or service users. 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.
The CCDS is based across two sites: Doughty House, Chelsea & Westminster Hospital and Parkview Centre for Health & Wellbeing (near Shepherds Bush), providing multidisciplinary child development assessment & interventions to the boroughs of Hammersmith & Fulham, Kensington & Chelsea & South Westminster
The areas we cover have varying socio-economic need as well as diverse cultural populations. The post is within a multi-disciplinary team which operates within a wider multi-agency context, that includes CAMHS, Social Services, Education, other Local Authority services and voluntary agencies. Assessment and therapeutic input will be provided within clinics, community resources such as nurseries & schools and within clients’ homes depending on the nature of the work being undertaken. The populations served are ethnically diverse, where consideration of cultural difference and influences is crucial in the assessment of children’s disabilities.
The Central and North West London NHS Trust (CNWL) is responsible for the provision of Child and Adolescent Mental health Services (CAMHS) to the populations of Brent, Hillingdon, Harrow, Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster, as well as providing a range of highly specialist services to other Trusts and Agencies, and to a wider regional catchment area.
