The post holder will provide a specialist service within CAMHS to young people with learning disabilities and their families. This is a community-based post, located within the Learning Disabilities Pathway in Brent CAMHS offering flexible, evidence-based episodes of care, assessments and treatments within a Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) framework, the main aim of which will be to enhance the quality of life of the children and their families, and reduce challenging behaviour. The post holder will directly contribute to the positive working environment within the multi-disciplinary team and will be required to deliver assessments and interventions in Brent. The post holder will also deliver training to other professionals and agencies as relevant.

The post holder will provide specialist assessments and interventions to children and young people. This will involve undertaking direct assessment and intervention with the client and indirect assessment, monitoring and intervention with staff and/or carers. Intervention will include working across a variety of settings, including home, school and short break services and will involve working with the multi-disciplinary team. The post holder will work autonomously alongside clients, families, support workers and professionals to enable others to better understand and respond to behaviours that are challenging.

The post holder will require a high degree of professional autonomy and self-management and will be required to account for their professional practice through supervision, appraisal and audit.

The CAMHS LD team provides specialist mental health services for children with learning disabilities and their families. The team is based at Monks Park Health Centre, Wembley, London. The team consists of Psychologists and assistant psychologists, a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist and Learning Disability Nurses. The team work closely with colleagues from the disabled children’s social care team, the specialist schools and colleges, the Child Development Centre and the Central and North West London Mental Health Trust adult LD Learning Disability at Kingsbury Centre. The team is co-located with other CAMHS teams and can access the wider range of disciplines represented in this service, e.g. child and adolescent psychotherapy, psychologists and systemic family therapy.

Brent CAMHS-LD team is set up to provide specialist assessment and consultation to children and young people with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities and their families and carers. In recent years this team has been expanded to increase the capacity of the service allowing for exciting new developments. In line with the Transforming Care agenda these developments are focussed on providing more intense support to those most at risk of restrictive practice. Our practitioners have undergone PBS training as part of a borough wide initiative to increase this approach.

The Trust will support flexible working hours where appropriate.
