• Ensure that all relevant codes of practice and regulations (MHA1983 & Care Standards Act 2000, Children's Act, Human Rights Act) are upheld
• Keep people safe from harm and protect their human rights

What you'll have:

• UKCP registration
• A recognised qualification in Systemic Family Therapy
• Extensive knowledge and understanding of adolescent development
• Person-centred ethos, showing empathy and a desire to make a difference
• Demonstrate initiative and creativity
• Flexible and adaptable, well organised and able to manage time and workload effectively in line with the needs of the service
• Successful candidates will be required to undergo an Enhanced DBS

We also want to ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable facilities to participate in job applications or interviews to perform essential job functions. To support this, we are a Disability Confident employer.
