The post holder will provide care coordination and family/systemic therapy to young people within Newham CAMHS. They will contribute to the effective functioning of the MDT and provide both clinical and management supervision.
You will join the Adolescent Mental Health Team (AMHT), a community-based, multidisciplinary team that operates using the Care Programme Approach. The AMHT includes psychiatry, psychology, nursing, and family therapy, and is a highly effective and supportive team within a thriving CAMHS service.
This role will involve supporting Early Intervention in Psychosis for 13 to 18-year-olds, as well as assessing and treating young people with severe emotional and mental health difficulties, including those presenting with high-risk behaviour. You will hold a caseload and collaborate with other team members, as well as work independently.

In addition, the post holder will be responsible for the clinical supervision of Band 7 family therapists and may provide line management. You will also participate in the AMHT duty rota, supporting young people held within the team.

The post holder will also be encouraged to participate in service development and quality improvement initiatives within CAMHS.
Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve. Our values are: We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive – so we are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues in the Trust and our partner organisations.
