Summary
We have an exciting opportunity to join our CAMHS teams as a Recruit to Train Trainee (Trainee Autism Spectrum Conditions / Learning Disabilities Practitioner), as part of the NHS England (NHSE) funded Recruit to Train Programme in partnership with Anna Freud, University College London, and Kings College London.
We are recruiting three trainings across West London CAMHS (2 in Ealing, 1 in Hammersmith & Fulham). The post-holders will be training on the Children & Young People Mental Health Therapy Course and carrying out clinical work in our service to complement their studies and use their newly developed skills. We are seeking highly motivated and enthusiastic mental health practitioners to work and train within our service.
This is a training position and so all candidates will usually need to apply for both the trainee role with our organisation and the UCL Post Graduate Diploma in Child and Young Person IAPT Therapy in order to be shortlisted. However, there is currently a delay in the opening of the university portal. Please go ahead and apply for the vacancy. Candidates will be informed once the university portal is open.
We will be holdinglive information sessions(6thSeptember and 10thSeptember) to help people better understand the ASCLD trainee role, and to familiarise themselves with how they fit into teams. Please see the candidate pack for links to attend these sessions.
You will offer a high-quality service to young people, families / carers, alongside working effectively with your colleagues and liaising with other professionals in the network. CYP-IAPT training will enable you to deliver - under intensive supervision - high quality, focused evidence-based therapeutic interventions for children and young people with Autism and / or a Learning Disability experiencing moderate mental health difficulties (e.g. low mood and anxiety). This in turn will equip those in post to operate effectively in an inclusive, value driven mental health service. The roles will be exciting and varied, including individual and group working in a CAMHS setting, enabling the post holders to develop a range of skills and experience whilst studying for a Postgraduate Diploma in Child & Young Person IAPT Therapy (Autism Spectrum Conditions and Learning Disabilities; PGDip). The post provides excellent opportunities for professional development and regular supervision.
