London, United Kingdom Whittington Health NHS Trust Full time

Islington Children’s Social Care are recruiting an Assistant Psychologist to the Adolescent Multi-Agency Specialist Service (AMASS). The post holder will be employed by Whittington Health, within the Children in Need Provider Services.

AMASS provides specialist, intensive outreach services to young people (10-17 years) and their families where there is high risk of the young person becoming looked after. AMASS has developed over the last 14 years as a highly regarded and successful multi-agency intervention service with staff from Social Care, Health and Education, located within Islington Social care provider services. Young people referred to AMASS present with a range of social and mental health needs and can find help challenging to access.

The families AMASS work with often present with complex and interacting problems and a mentalisation-based approach underpins the teams’ practice. We are looking for an innovative and experienced practitioner who will work independently according to agreed plans developed with the team CAMHS Clinician and/or Social Care manager. The applicant will work jointly with their multi-agency and multi-disciplinary colleagues in a flexible, organised and responsive way within a changing environment. We offer a stimulating and highly supportive working environment, and welcome applicants who can make a positive contribution to our multi-agency team.

Include all evidence where you meet the essential requirements on the person specification.

Please See Job Description and Person Specification for full details.

The post holder will work with people with different cultural backgrounds and ages, using interpreters when necessary and should be committed to equal opportunities.

The post holder will work directly with families and young people using an assertive outreach approach and drawing on evidence-based interventions where appropriate. Some evening work will be required on a case-by-case basis to fit with the assertive outreach model. The role will also involve record keeping and, with supervision from the AMASS CAMHS clinician, leading on implementing the team’s programme of service evaluation.

Islington is a small, densely populated borough with a total resident child population of 40,000. The proportion of children from BME groups is 70%. Approximately 120 different languages are spoken in the homes of Islington children. Islington has one of the highest proportions of children living in poverty nationally; it is ranked the eighth most deprived local authority in England. Islington Community CAMHS is therefore dedicated to working with partner agencies at a strategic level and in practice to address the resulting mental health needs of the borough.

Whittington Health works hard to ensure that all our services are fair and equally accessible to everyone. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the way we look after our staff. We aim to employ a workforce which is as representative as possible of this population, so we are open to the value of differences in age, disability, gender, marital status, pregnancy and maternity, race, sexual orientation, and religion or belief. The Trust believes that as a public sector organisation we have an obligation to have recruitment, training, promotion and other formal employment policies and procedures that are sensitive to these differences. We think that by doing so, we are better able to treat our patients as well as being a better place to work.

Please see job description and person specification for full details.

To support and enhance assessments and intensive interventions delivered in families homes and the community to families working with AMASS, via individual outreach and joint multi-agency work.
