NELFT North East London Foundation Trust
Systemic Family Practitioner CYP-IAPT-ED Trainee
Kent & Medway All-Age Eating Disorders Service has an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Recruit to Train Trainee, part of NHSE funded Recruit to Train Programme in partnership with the Anna Freud Centre, University College London, and Kings College London. The post-holder will be training on the Children & Young People Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (CYP IAPT) Therapy Course and carrying out clinical work in our service to complement their studies and use their newly developed skills. We are seeking highly motivated and enthusiastic mental health practitioners to work and train within our service. The training post will equip the post-holder to provide interventions for children, young people or families using evidence-based intervention consistent with the course they are attending. The post holder will work with people with different cultural backgrounds and ages, using interpreters when necessary and should be committed to equity, diversity and inclusion. Please note this training position requires a CORE trained professional (e.g. social worker, OT, nurse etc) to apply.
Main duties of the job
This is a permanent post with this training year funded by NHSE. After successful completion of the course, you will continue your employment within the service using the new skills you have developed.
This role will be best suited for applicants that are able to balance a very busy work and study schedule. You will be an employee at the service but also enrolled on a Postgraduate Diploma course. As this is a Postgraduate level training, you will be required to study and perform at academic level. Applicants must be prepared to work towards their studies outside of protected study time (such as on weekends and after work). Protected study time or teaching days are typically two days a week during term (with possibility of extra university days near start) and will be a mixture of in person and online sessions. Applicants must be willing to travel into London to attend their lectures.
This is an exciting opportunity to train as a Systemic Family Practitioner in Eating Disorders. You will become eligible to go on to further training as a Family Therapist should you wish.
Job responsibilities
North East London NHS Foundation Trust All-Age Eating Disorders Service is based in the County of Kent. We have a strong focus on training and research and team members benefit from excellent training and CPD opportunities. AAEDS is therefore expanding its multi-disciplinary team and highlights a need for preceptorship roles to train in-house.
This is a training role within the Child and Young Persons Improving Access To Psychological Therapies Programme (CYP-IAPT). The post-holder will work within the All-Age Eating Disorders Service providing interventions whilst undertaking a programme of training for this role. This intensive training post will equip the post holder to provide interventions based on CYP-IAPT care principles and also an evidence based intervention consistent with their training course.
The post-holder will work in the service for at least 3.0 days of the week using the newly developed skills whilst attending the training programme for the remaining 2.0 days.
