Summary
This post is for a Highly Specialist Clinical Psychologist to join the First Step / First Step Plus Team.
First Step is an innovative and highly specialist psychological health screening and assessment service for Haringey’s children and young people in care. The team is multidisciplinary with social work, clinical psychology, child psychiatry, systemic, and child psychotherapy representation. We are based at Bounds Green Health Centre in Haringey.
The service provides comprehensive psychological health assessments to all children new into care in Haringey, as well as providing briefer assessments of children currently in care. It also works as First Step Plus, an expanding part of our service, with a small number of young people who have experienced multiple placement moves and instability in care and are unable to access a CAMHS. We offer consultation and network support to professionals with regards to children in care. We provide a time limited package of support for a small number of cases when the Courts have directed rehabilitation back home to birth families.
Assessments /interventions are undertaken in conjunction with other key professionals, including social workers, carers, LAC health colleagues and education staff.
The post holder will be responsible for the assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of programmes of evidenced based care to a group of service users, conscious of their changing healthcare needs and varying levels of complexity, working collaboratively, with other clinicians and stakeholders. You will be required to work within a multi-disciplinary team delivering a range of outcome focused, evidence based, and complex interventions and responsible for the formulation and delivery of specialised programmes of care.
