Job description

Family Therapist / Systemic Psychotherapist

Are you passionate about infant and pre-school child development and looking for something different? Then now is the time to come and work for NSFT Ages birth up to 4th birthday Parent Infant Mental Health service.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and dedicated Family Therapist/ Systemic Psychotherapist to join Norfolk and Waveney parent and infant relationship service, to cover a period of maternity leave within the service.

The successful candidate will need to be a fully accredited Systemic and Family Psychotherapist with appropriate professional body. The applicant must have a minimum of 2 years post qualification experience in working with parents and children and have significant experience working with families with child protection/contact with social services.

Main duties of the job

You will work collaboratively with the multi-disciplinary team and partner organisations to improve the emotional health and development of infants and pre-school children who are experiencing emotional difficulties, through dyadic or family-based interventions. The role will include providing therapy for parents and babies and children under four years of age, providing clinical supervision to trainee psychotherapists and parent infant practitioners, and providing consultation and training to a variety of professionals and agencies.

The post holder will be offering an enhanced intervention function around parent infant relationship difficulties, whilst considering the Thrive Framework domains of 'Getting More help' and 'Getting Risk Support' (Wolpert et al., 2019). Due to the age of the infants referred into PAIRS, this is an exciting opportunity to consider pre-verbal infants within family therapy work.

The position will require you to be a dynamic and solution-focused team player who is passionate about high-quality care. You will be outcome driven and able to work collaboratively with our organisational partners across Family Hub Services, Perinatal Services, CAMHS, Healthy Child Programme, Early Childhood and Family Service, Adult Community Mental Health Services, Health Visiting, and other agencies to deliver a unified and safe service to babies, young children, and their parents or carers.

In addition to ongoing training and development opportunities, we are committed to providing an environment in which you can thrive.

Why work for us? We have challenges as a Trust, but we have ambitious aspirations, are pushing ahead with exciting transformation work, and we need dedicated individuals to support us on our journey. We have strong, established professional networks coupled with an exceptional leadership team who will ensure you are truly cared for and cared about.

Why Norfolk and Suffolk?The people here are warm and welcoming, you'll never be far from the beautiful coastline or Broads National Park. We're an hour and a half away from London and have an international airport in Norwich too. Our villages, towns, and cities are packed full of history, independent cafes, shops, and theatres. We have excellent shopping, eating out, top ranking schooling, and affordable house prices too.
