Highly Specialist Systemic Psychotherapist

2 weeks ago


London, Greater London, United Kingdom South West London and St George's Mental Health NHS Trust Full time

The Adult Eating Disorders Service is seeking an experienced Systemic Psychotherapist (registered with UKCP via the College of Family Couple and Systemic Therapy) to join our experienced and friendly teams based at Springfield Hospital.

The postholder will work across 1 or 2 parts of the service (either the inpatient, day service and/or outpatient pathway).

Ideally the postholder will have experience of working within a specialist eating disorders service.

8a to 8b opportunity:

This is an 8b role but if you meet the essential criteria except for completion of the one-year supervisors training, then we can recruit you initially at a Band 8a role.

The Band 8a postholder would need to be eligible for entry into the postgraduate systemic psychotherapy supervisors training (either at the Institute of Family therapy or the Tavistock).

The Trust would pay for your training while you are in post, offer up to 5 study days in the year (but you would also need to do some of the study days in your own time) and support you to complete the one-year course.

Upon successful completion of this systemic therapy supervision training, the postholder can progress to the 8b post provided they meet the rest of the essential criteria outlined in the Band 8b Person Specification.

The postholder would offer highly specialist systemic assessment and psychotherapy to service users and their family system.

They would provide specialist advice and consultation from a systemic perspective to colleagues, external agencies and carers, and be able to work with an appropriate level of professional autonomy within professional guidelines and the overall framework of the Trust's policies and procedures.

In addition, the postholder would deliver evidence-based knowledge and practice and participate in audit, research and service development.


We offer a regular programme of workshops for Family & Friends of our service users and the postholder would join colleagues from other disciplines in delivering these online and in-person workshops and groups.

There is lots of opportunity to develop this program and bring in new ideas (e.g., a sibling workshop).

The provision of systemic psychotherapy trainee placements and supervision of trainees is highly encouraged.


We are looking for someone who can bring compassion and tenacity to the task of helping clients across the different parts of our service.

Good communication is key, both in the direct clinical work and in liaising with other team members involved in the patient's care.

Being organised and good with time management would be also very beneficial in this post

The post is part-time at 2.5 days a week (0.5 wte) but we are also keen to hear expressions of interest from anyone who would like to work different hours


The outpatient service works with a caseload of approximately 260 clients with severe eating disorders referred from the five local boroughs served by the Trust.

People from these areas can also access our day unit, which supports admissions for up to eight people needing intense treatment including supervised meals, occupational therapy and psychological input.

Avalon is an eighteen-bedded National Inpatient Eating Disorder ward, which aims to offer brief admissions for medical stabilization, including therapeutic support alongside this process to facilitate re-integration in local services.

Psychological therapists are well regarded across the service.

There is a lot of day-to-day contact with colleagues and opportunity for joint working with other professionals in the team.

We can offer flexibility of working hours and have monthly in-house CPD meetings.
