Job overview
We are excited to advertise a band 7 Systemic Family Therapy post. To join our developing family therapy team which consists of a Lead Band 8a and another band 7 Systemic Family Therapist and help us to continue to grow and care for our client group and families.
You will be joining a dynamic, busy, and successful service and multi-disciplinary team within Child and Adolescent Eating Disorders. This is a Surrey-wide service based in Epsom, and the Service is CARE Excellence Accredited. We are a very reflective and supportive team and therefore very able to meet and surpass our local and national clinical targets, whilst still ensuring we put the young people and families at the heart of what we do.
It is essential that you are a car driver and have use of a car as you will be required to attend relevant meetings for your clients. Training and research opportunities are available, and we have strong links with the Adult ED Team.
We are committed to providing flexible working patterns to enable good work-life balance. We currently work between the hours of 8am and 6pm. There is scope for a proportion of online working; however, we work with patient choice, so face-to-face working is essential.
Main duties of the job
We offer accessible multi-professional assessment and treatment services for children and young people with eating disorders registered in Surrey.
The post holder will contribute to multi-disciplinary reviews of outpatients and be actively involved in the development and implementation of agreed care plans.
The post holder will participate in service-related activity including research, service evaluation, and audit activities in addition to the supervision of other grades of staff as required.
You will have the opportunity to lead on projects in line with service needs and to fully develop your clinical skills. Excellent and robust supervision is in place (managerial and clinical), and the team also receives monthly staff support from a psychotherapist.
Working for our organisation
Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is the leading provider of health and social care services for people of all ages with mental ill-health and learning disabilities in Surrey and North East Hampshire. We also provide social care services for people with a learning disability in Croydon and ASD and ADHD assessment services in Hampshire.
We actively seek to engage people who use our services and our communities in improving the mental wellbeing of the local population. We work closely with other NHS and voluntary sector organisations who provide services and support people who use services and carers.
Surrey is a beautiful county lying just 30 minutes away from Central London and from the South Coast. Our historic market towns and bustling districts are enveloped in wonderful countryside, and our excellent road and rail networks bring the rest of the country within easy reach.
For international travel, both Gatwick and Heathrow airports are nearby.
Please note that we reserve the right to close posts as soon as sufficient applications are received.
Working from home contracts do not attract high cost area payments.
We look forward to receiving your application!
