We are excited to announce two new roles within our Swindon Integrated Pathway for Complex Trauma. These positions are designed to support children and young people in care, as well as foster carers, connected carers, and social work teams. You will play a key role in delivering multi-agency consultation and support to meet the unique needs of this vulnerable group.
The Inreach Trauma Specialists will work in a strengths-based, trauma-informed environment, building positive partnerships with key adults and networks to improve outcomes for children and young people in care.
The Roles
* One role focuses on supporting children we care for, directly working with young people to help them overcome complex trauma.
* The other role supports foster carers, connected carers, and social work teams, ensuring they receive consultation, guidance, and resources to provide the best care.
Role
These roles address the challenges faced by this group in accessing timely support and will help shape this vital service. You will influence the development of the pathway, ensuring that it is grounded in a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach. We are seeking professionals from the following backgrounds:
* Registered Mental Health Nurse
* Occupational Therapist
* Social Worker
* Clinical Psychologist
* Family and Systemic Therapist
* Psychotherapist
We welcome applicants who are passionate about working with children, young people, and families from diverse social, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds.
You will provide specialist multi-agency consultation to social workers and other professionals to understand the needs of children and young people who are or have previously been in the care of the local authority. These young people may have experienced complex trauma and/or have moderate to severe mental health needs. You will employ research-based models to formulate and implement plans with individuals, families, and carers.
You may offer highly specialist assessment and treatment alongside the Getting More Help Trauma Specialists and other clinicians within CAMHS. You will also work closely with the Children We Care For teams within the Swindon Local Authority, offering consultation, reflective practice, and training to the social workers and support workers.
This role will work within a multi-disciplinary Inreach team of specialist practitioners who work directly with Children Social Services Teams within the local authority. You will work alongside a range of professionals such as Clinical Psychologists, Systemic and Family Therapists, Nurses, Occupational Therapists, and Social Workers and Child and Adolescent Psychotherapists.
This role requires you to demonstrate evidence of an anti-oppressive approach at the heart of your practice and to challenge, when needed, oppressive and/or discriminatory issues that are relevant to the children, young people, and families we work with, as well as within the system, or that impact on colleagues.
