Are you interested in an exciting, empowering role that makes a difference to the lives of people experiencing multiple exclusion and homelessness and that provides psychologically-informed support to client-facing staff in services that work with this client group?
We are looking for a skilled clinical or counselling psychologist to cover a period of maternity leave based within the PICT (Psychologically Informed Consultation & Training) Team, in a role commissioned by Islington Council and funded by the GLA.
The role works alongside staff within existing Islington council Rough Sleeping services supporting people who are rough sleeping or with histories of rough sleeping and currently living in supported housing.
The PICT role offers mental health expertise to client-facing services in local authorities with the aim of promoting greater knowledge, understanding, curiosity and skill, through providing a model of consultation, training and joint working that supports the wider system to work more effectively with people presenting with complex mental health presentations (not necessarily diagnosed), including those experiencing multiple disadvantage.
A smaller proportion of time will be spent in some direct psychological / therapeutic engagement work with service users.
Time will additionally be spent supporting the homelessness pathway within the Trust and liaising with council and trust services.
This role will involve co-located and collaborative working with existing services that offer support to people who are rough sleeping or with histories of rough sleeping and currently living in supported housing.
The post holder will offer PICT interventions to staff and residents in a variety of settings including a Complex Needs Hostel, the Independent Housing Intensive Support team and those who are rough sleeping and known to Navigator and/or the Community Safety teams.
Alongside consultation, liaison and training the post holder will offer some direct interventions to residents where possible.
The post holder will be required to work flexibly, independently, and responsively within a changing environment. Applicants need to be comfortable with outreach and multi-agency joint working and need to have experience working directly with services users who may be described as having enduring complex emotional needs, with diagnoses such as personality disorder and psychosis and those who use substances.
Applicants need to be confident in providing case consultation to staff from a variety of professional backgrounds and have experience of multi-disciplinary team working. The above are core components of the post.
North London NHS Foundation Trust (NLFT)is committed to improving mental health care to deliver excellent services to our local people.
Our 5 Year Strategy:
1. 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, at any location 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.
Please see attached Job Description and Person Specification, which provide detailed descriptions of the roles and requirements.
