The Camden & Islington Early Intervention Service is undergoing an exciting expansion,
with the ambition to become a Gold Standard Service. Focused on delivering the Early
Intervention in Psychosis (EIP) model, the service aims to reduce relapse rates,
minimize inpatient admissions, and promote service user recovery through social
inclusion and maximizing strengths and potential. We are looking for energetic,
motivated, and skilled practitioners to join us in achieving this goal.
We have an exciting opportunity for Band 6 Clinical Nurse Specialists to join the
Islington Early Intervention Service, an innovative and dynamic team supporting
individuals experiencing a First Episode of Psychosis (FEP). As a member of a wellestablished, multi-disciplinary team, you will work with a culturally diverse population in
the London Borough of Islington, helping service users achieve both symptomatic and
social recovery.
Key responsibilities include:
• Conducting early assessments, diagnoses, and providing treatment for FEP.
• Delivering person-centered, culturally sensitive care aimed at promoting stability,
skill development, and social role enhancement.
• Facilitating both symptomatic and social recovery by actively engaging with
service users.
• Reducing stigma and ensuring that initial service contact is supportive and nondisconcerting.
Educating and involving carers in the service user’s care journey.
The Islington Early Intervention Service is deeply involved in research and actively
participates in multi-center studies, allowing team members to engage with cutting-edge
mental health initiatives.
North London NHS Foundation Trust (NLFT) is committed to improving mental health
care across North London to deliver excellent services to our local people.
Our Five-Year Strategy:
1. We will provide consistently high-quality care closer to home.
2. With our partners in North London and each borough we will ensure equity of
outcome for all
3. We will offer great places to work, providing staff with supportive environment
to deliver outstanding care.
4. We will be more effective as an organisation by pioneering research, quality
improvement and technology.
In order to meet the needs of the Trust you may be required from time to time to work
at different locations to your normal place of work. This may mean that you are required
to work at any location that fall under Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey or Islington.
The Trust reserves the right to require staff to work at such other places or locations as
it considers reasonable and necessary on a temporary or permanent basis.
As a Clinical Nurse Specialist, you will act as a care coordinator for a defined group of
clients, working autonomously within a multi-disciplinary team. Ideal candidates will
have a strong knowledge of health and psycho-social interventions for FEP and a desire
to further develop skills in a community-based setting.
The role offers a supportive environment with clinical supervision, peer support, and
access to the Early Intervention training program. Additionally, there are opportunities to
contribute to the development and evaluation of group programs for service users.
Join us in making a real impact on mental health recovery in a forward-thinking and
research-focused team.
