PLEASE NOTE WE ARE RECRUITING AT TRAFFORD AND SALFORD.

MFT CAMHS is dedicated to delivering a variety of systemic assessments and interventions for CYP and their families. We are currently looking to hire two experienced Senior Family and Systemic Psychotherapists for our Salford and Trafford CAMHS locations, with one full time position available at each site.

Joining our team means becoming part of a well-established network of Systemic Family Therapists (SFTs) and Systemic Family Practitioners (SFPs) and includes:

- A solid supervision framework
- Regular quarterly gatherings for the Manchester SFT and SFP network
- Opportunities for teaching and training
- Collaboration and supervision with colleagues from various professional backgrounds
- The chance to connect with the Manchester division of the AFT (Association for Family Therapy)

We seek applicants confident and adept at working independently and collaboratively, offering systemically informed consultation and supervision. We welcome candidates from a diverse array of backgrounds.

MFT CAMHS is renowned for its creative and inclusive approach to mental health support, having been the first CAMHS to receive two consecutive “Outstanding” ratings from the CQC. We ensure a thorough induction for new staff and foster leadership at every level. Living and working in Manchester offers numerous benefits, including vibrant music, sports, theatre, and diversity.

In the role of Family Therapy, you will manage a clinical caseload, working directly with individuals experiencing severe and persistent mental health challenges, often compounded by trauma, and who may be engaged with multiple agencies and services. The primary responsibilities include:

- Providing systemic psychotherapy independently at a specialist level.
- Conducting comprehensive psychological and systemic assessments of children, young people, and families, including risk evaluation.
- Offering written and verbal systemic formulations to support evidence-based clinical interventions for children, young people, and families with complex issues.
- Implementing a specific care package of specialized therapeutic interventions, utilizing a wide range of systemic models.
- Delivering expert one-on-one clinical consultations to other clinical staff regarding the application of Family Therapy and Systemic Psychotherapy, aiding in formulation and care planning, and collaborating with team members in the delivery of individual and group programs.
- Assisting in the provision of guidance and consultancy to local teams and services of partner agencies, promoting the integration of informed systemic practice in their routine work with children, young people, and families.
- Engaging in the supervision of newly qualified systemic psychotherapists and trainees.
