London, Greater London, United Kingdom South West London and St George's Mental Health NHS Trust Full time
Wandsworth Tier 3 CAMHS is a warm and friendly multidisciplinary team comprising Psychiatry, Psychology, Family Therapy and Nursing.

We receive referrals from the Wandsworth Single Point of Access who have had suitability assessments for Tier 3, for a range of moderate to severe mental health difficulties and there is often complexity and risk.


We are a CYP-IAPT service and aim to use these core principles, including targeted and goal-based interventions, outcome monitoring, service user participation and choice.


We are a team which is committed to learning and development and support opportunities for growth, which fits with team needs and job plans (e.g., a reflective space; CPD space).


This is an exciting opportunity to join an experienced Family Therapist to use Systemic Family Therapy as an intervention for the referred cases.

This may be parallel to or following/preceding a further intervention, such as Psychological Therapy or medication or transition to adult services.

You would be responsible for managing your caseload and throughput, in accordance with your job plan, which would include risk management, consulting with other agencies and ensuring record keeping is up to date, together with Routine Outcome measures.

You would be in receipt of regular supervision from an experienced Family Therapist and would be able to access weekly team meetings and reflective spaces, together with opportunities for growth and development.


We are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated clinician, who is keen to join our team and provide this important and valuable evidence-based intervention.


Applicants must have:

  • Qualifications and registration recognised in the UK.
  • Sound risk management practices
  • Solid experience of working in child mental health
  • Excellent organisational and IT skills
  • Strong personal skills
We are Proud to Belong at South West London and St George's Mental Health NHS Trust.


We have expert services, a rich history and a clear commitment to providing the best quality care for those with mental ill-health.

The Care Quality Commission already rates our services as 'good' - we aspire to be 'outstanding'.

This is a great time to join us. We are transforming the way we care for our communities to support our mission of Making Life Better Together.

We have built two brand new mental health facilities at Springfield University Hospital, which are amongst the best in the world.

More developments are planned across our sites and services.

We are inclusive and diverse and strive to be actively anti racist. We want to attract people from all backgrounds and experiences to enrich the work we do together. We are proud to co-produce and involve our local communities in all that we do.


We offer flexible working, career development and a variety of benefits to enable a positive, welcoming environment in which our people and their careers can thrive.
