An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Specialist Clinical Psychologist to join a highly-regarded MHST in Ealing. We are looking for a passionate practitioner, who is keen to support an innovative early intervention team that provide direct interventions for mild-to-moderate low mood, anxiety and behaviours that challenge, into schools; as well as wider whole school approach interventions, such as group work, workshops, wellbeing assemblies and classroom interventions.
Our team has grown significantly over the last two years, and we place a lot of emphasis on wellbeing and creating an environment where people want to stay and develop. We have a lot of positive feedback from staff about the team, and continue to value their contributions and feedback to further support the development of the team.
Locally and nationally, the team is well-regarded. We were recently invited by the Department for Education to attend a ministerial event with the Education Secretary in one of our schools, where an announcement was to be made about the expansion of MHSTs nationally. We have also been contacted by the national MHST team and more recently the Mayor’s children and young Londoners team to share good practice about our innovative and unique Autism/Learning disability offer in mainstream schools.
In this role, you may be balancing clinical, supervisory, leadership and service development duties.
The main focus is to:
· Lead on and directly provide comprehensive assessment, risk management and interventions for children and young people experiencing emotional and mental health difficulties.
· Offer one to one and group interventions
· Offer Clinical Supervision to team members, which may include Assistant Psychologists, Trainee Clinical Psychologists, and trainees or staff in other psychological professions e.g. CBT trainees, and wellbeing practitioners
· Work with school staff and cultures to develop school environments that are more conducive to supporting better emotional health and wellbeing.
· Work with parents/carers to raise awareness of the mental and emotional wellbeing needs of children and young people and strategies to protect and promote these.
· Take part in meaningful service development and improvement projects for the team
· Join the West London CAMHS psychology team as a representative of your profession.
If you are interested in working with schools and want to help shape new modelsof evidence-based support for children and young people, this job could be for you!
