We value inclusivity in our service and are actively working in partnership with community organisations to reach young people who find ‘traditional’ routes of mental health services not accessible to them. We recognise the importance of staff development and career progression and there are Trust wide CPD opportunities available. We encourage applications from newly qualified and recently qualified clinicians and applicants from diverse backgrounds.

Wandsworth T3 CAMHS serves a diverse London borough of young people and families present with a variety of complex needs such as low mood, anxiety-based disorders including OCD, trauma, and difficulties with emotional regulation.

Part time also considered.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a team of Family Therapists to utilise Systemic Family Therapy as an intervention for the referred cases.

You would be responsible for managing your caseload and throughput, in accordance with your job plan, which would include risk management, liaising with other agencies and ensuring record keeping is up to date, together with Routine Outcome measures. You would be in receipt of regular supervision from an experienced Family Therapist and would be able to access weekly team meetings and reflective spaces, together with opportunities for growth and development. You would also be a part of our weekly Family Therapy clinic.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated clinician, who is keen to join our team and provide this important and valuable evidence based intervention.
