Due to ongoing investment, a structure review and subsequent expansion of the Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy Team within West London CAMHS, we are looking for two Highly Specialist Child and Adolescent Psychotherapists (permanent, total of 1.5WTE – 2.0 WTE, Band 8a) to join our friendly and supportive multi-disciplinary team at Ealing CAMHS. These sessions are available across three teams: Child and Family team, Neurodevelopmental Team and Eating Disorders team. Both posts can be part time or full time as we are flexible about the number of sessions attached to each team and mostly interested to attract the right candidates according to their skills, experiences and interests.
We are looking for enthusiastic, skilled and innovative clinicians with a broad range of specialist psychotherapeutic and generic experience, who will be able to maintain clinical curiosity and engage in reflective practice as well as be able to be an advocate for children, young people and families’ needs.
We welcome applications from those currently working on a Band 7 level or those already working on a Band 8a but wishing to take on a new challenge. The successful candidate will have excellent opportunities for continuing professional development and will be supported in career progression. They will receive regular supervision from a more senior Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist.
Ealing CAMHS has a strong multi-disciplinary approach and thrive on innovative practice to meet the local population needs of a culturally and economically diverse borough. You will be committed to ensuring that the service is accessible and effective.
You will be joining a welcoming child and adolescent psychotherapy team in West London who are committed to service improvement, staff well-being, and who value diversity in our workforce. We have good links with training courses and regularly offer placements to trainees.
You will offer a comprehensive and high-quality specialist child and adolescent psychotherapy service to children and young people with severe and complex mental health problems, their families and carers. This will include specialist psychoanalytic psychotherapy assessments, State of Mind assessments and ongoing specialist treatment (STPP and longer psychoanalytic psychotherapy) alongside working effectively with your colleagues and liaising with other professionals.
