Applications are invited for the post of Senior Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist to join a lively and friendly multi-disciplinary CAMHS Team which provides services in the London Borough of Bexley. Bexley is one of the three boroughs served by Oxleas NHS Trust (also including Bromley and Greenwich). The service is located in a newly refurbished building at Park Crescent, Erith DA8 3EEwhich offers a bright and welcoming space for children, YP, families and staff. Erith lies on the border of London and Kent with good transport links, which include regular trains from central and Crossrail serving nearby Abbey Wood.
The Bexley CAMHS service is currently being redesigned according to iThrive principles, and this post will be based in the Getting More Help Quadrant offering the post holder the opportunity to work with a range of young people with complex and enduring mental health problems aged up to 18 years of age. The post is open to child psychotherapists with at least 5 years of post- qualification experience of work in a multidisciplinary context. The Child Psychotherapy discipline is well established and valued across the Trust with a strong clinical presence in most of the different teams across Oxleas and within Bexley CAMHS.
The post-holder will provide brief, medium and long term treatments (including individual, parent-child, group and parent work) as well as specialist state of mind assessments. They will also support the team in undertaking generic clinical work and psychoanalytically informed brief psychological interventions and consultations. This role will also involved offering supervision to more junior child psychotherapists and offering clinical support to clinicians of other disciplines. The post-holder will hopefully take on an ACP accredited psychotherapy trainee. There post will involve a leadership role both within the discipline and the team.
The post-holder will contribute to the further development and ongoing operational functioning of the service. There are opportunities within the team and service to lead and engage in innovative work and we are keen to enable clinicians to develop job plans to encourage development of skills and interests. The child psychotherapy discipline promotes wider psychoanalytic thinking through a workshop, a monthly psychoanalytic practice forum, a monthly clinical forum and business meeting, termly trust wide child psychotherapy away days and an annual Oxleas Child Psychotherapy conference. We encourage access to wider CPD and maintaining links with the ACP. Clinicians are encouraged and have opportunities to pursue further trainings to offer additional interventions such as EMDR, IPT and VIG to meet the needs of our clients.
Oxleas offers a wide range of NHS healthcare services to people in community and secure environment settings. Services include community health care such as district nursing and speech and language therapy, care for people with learning disabilities and mental health care such as psychiatry, nursing and therapies. Our multidisciplinary teams look after people of all ages and we work in close partnership with other parts of the NHS, local councils and the voluntary sector and through our new provider collaboratives. Our 4,300 members of staff work in many different settings including hospitals, clinics, prisons, secure hospitals, children’s centres, schools and people’s homes.
We have over 125 sites in a variety of locations in the South of England. In London we operate within the Boroughs of Bexley, Bromley Greenwich and into Kent. We manage hospital sites including Queen Mary’s Hospital, Sidcup and Memorial Hospital, Woolwich, as well as the Bracton Centre, our medium secure unit for people with mental health needs. We are proud of the care we provide and our people.
Our purpose is to improve lives by providing the best possible care to our patients and their families. This is strengthened by our new values:
• We’re Kind
• We’re Fair
• We Listen
• We Care
Within the Getting More Help Quadrant the post holder would sit alongside the Consultant (8c) and Head of Child Psychotherapy, another senior child psychotherapist, 3 band 7 child psychotherapists and 2 trainees.
The post holder will provide a psychoanalytic psychotherapeutic service for children, young people and their families, who present with complex mental health difficulties. S/he will provide assessment, brief, medium and long-term treatment to children and adolescents up to the age of 18 and offer consultation, advice and training (where appropriate) to other professionals involved in the young person’s care.
