A Vacancy at East London NHS Foundation Trust.
ELFT CAMHS is a well-established multidisciplinary service that provides a comprehensive stepped model of care for children, young people and their families in the locality. The service compromises teams of clinicians that currently includes Psychiatry, Clinical Psychology, Systemic Family Therapy, Community Mental Health Nurses and a variety of other key psychological therapy and clinical disciplines.
As well as providing specialist mental health assessment and intervention as part of the Neurodevelopmental Team (NDT), the Practitioner Psychologist will help to coordinate the delivery of the service, provide specialist supervision, consultation, training and direct clinical interventions. The NDT works with children and young people with moderate and severe intellectual disabilities, and those diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Condition, and their carers and families.
The Bedfordshire and Luton Neurodevelopmental Team (NDT) consists of a group of highly experienced and motivated professionals who work closely as a team and with partnership agencies to provide a very well-respected service to children and their families. The team combine clinical, teaching and research skills to deliver up-to-date, evidence-based interventions for children with neurodevelopmental differences, who also have either severe behaviours that can challenge or moderate to severe mental health difficulties in both Luton and South Bedfordshire.
Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve. Our values are: We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive – so we are looking for people who live and breathe these qualities when supporting service users and carers, and in their relationships with colleagues in the Trust and our partner organisations.
We strive to ensure that staff feel valued by the Trust and as they are truly pivotal in delivering better outcomes for our patients and service users. Our aspiration is to help to make ELFT the best place to work. This Trust is clinician-led and provides the highest possible level of clinical expertise throughout its services. We pride ourselves on our service user involvement. A service user will be on your assessment centre and interview panel if you are invited to meet us.
We especially welcome people with lived experience of health difficulties, with insight and understanding of different backgrounds, cultures and lifestyles in our population as we believe that this will equip staff to deliver a high standard of care to our service users and patients.
