Summary
Waltham Forest CAMHS has a vibrant group of Psychologists & Allied Professionals who are valued by the wider team and who meet face-to-face once a week. The group includes just under 20 clinical and counselling psychologists, CBT therapists and trainees, trainee psychologists, assistant psychologist, and a PBS practitioner. You would directly clinically supervise and line manage more junior staff members. You would be expected to offer extensive expert consultation across the service and through inter-agency network meetings. You may also undertake highly specialist assessments to contribute to the clinical leadership and oversight for mental health assessments and interventions and to formulate areas of strengths and needs based on good practice and evidence. You may hold a very small caseload of young people and assess and work with complex risk and other safeguarding concerns. You would coordinate the allocation of 1:1 therapeutic work, the running of groups, and completion of cognitive assessments, including the Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC), Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), and Adaptive Behavior Assessment System (ABAS). We pride ourselves on having a compassionate, trauma-informed, evidence-based, and inclusive approach that puts both staff wellbeing and children and young people at its centre.NELFT has had significant investment in senior leadership of psychological professions across the Trust and expects ongoing commitment to developing and retaining high quality staff through CPD, supervision and an annual psychological professions conference. The Trust also has various committees as part of our commitment to promoting equality and diversity (e.g. LGBTQ+, EDI, and disability, amongst others), which frequently provide free training and regular meetings. As part of our trauma-informed approach, we strongly encourage good work/life balance, compassionate and approachable leadership, and collaborative team decision-making whenever possible.
