A Vacancy at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust.
We are seeking a Consultant Nurse to support an innovative project in the roll-out of trauma-informed approaches (TIA) in our working age adult acute inpatient wards.

This post-holder will work alongside all stakeholders including peer workers, service-users, medical, nursing, therapies, social work and psychological professions leads. The strategy for this work will draw on and reflect guidance, research and best practice around trauma-informed approaches across the UK. The post-holder will work closely with leads for the Patient and Carer Race Equity Framework (PCREF) across the boroughs to ensure the strategy encompasses our commitment to anti-racism. We are happy to discuss flexible working at the interview stage.
This post will sit within the Corporate Psychology & Psychotherapy team at South London & The Maudsley. This small, central team provides support, governance and leadership for Psychological Professionals and staff support across the trust. It is a diverse and experienced team with a warm and supportive culture. The post-holder will also report into and receive professional supervision from the Corporate Nursing team. The Trauma-Informed Approaches for Adult Inpatient Team is a new initiative and will reach out across the trust and work with multiple ward-based teams within each of the 4 boroughs covered by South London & The Maudsley – Lambeth, Lewisham, Croydon and Southwark.
