Systemic Family Therapist

7 months ago


Basildon, United Kingdom Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust Full time

It is an exciting time to join EPUT as we develop treatment pathways, new processes and therapeutic provision to meet the needs of our clients with a diagnosis or traits of personality disorder. Systemic Family therapy is a vital contribution to this. This role is a new development in the transformation agenda. The post holder will support clients in the vulnerable transition between ward and home. This can be a difficult time for families and risk can be heightened. The Family Therapist will start their engagement with clients and families while the client is on the ward and support them at discharge. Practitioners will be working across inpatient, crisis and community teams within the named localities, allowing for a whole systems approach, unencumbered by usual service divides. The transition will be safer for client and family. The decision to continue the therapy with the family in the community is a clinical one and can be continued as is agreed by family and therapist.

Clinically, the roles will be overseen and supervised by the Consultant Psychotherapist and Family Therapist leading the Personality Disorder and Complex Needs team. Practitioners will also regularly work with a wider network of systemic practitioners in the community across EPUT.

Operationally, the new family therapist will align with the Transitions Psychology team, a group of practitioners (psychologists and psychological therapists) using evidence based interventions in a trauma informed and user-led approach in order to reduce repeat or long term admissions to psychiatric hospitals. The roles present an exciting opportunity to work both directly and indirectly with Service Users who are requiring additional support in times of transition, most commonly from inpatient to community services. Our Service Users usually arrive with diagnoses of personality disorders and complex trauma; we collaboratively formulate their difficulties in an integrative way, taking added complexities including dual diagnosis, social and economic stressors, attachment/interpersonal difficulties and complex trauma experiences into account.

These Family Therapist posts are newly funded, so they offer novel opportunities for role and service development, service user involvement and audit/service evaluation with a small but supportive and specialised team. Interventions are integrative and attachment/formulation-led, and the service allows for long-term and intensive work as needed. Excellent clinical, interpersonal, team working and risk assessment skills are required. The team are developing close working relationships with both inpatient, crisis and community teams, and the role would offer opportunities to teach, train, consult and supervise where appropriate.

EPUT are looking for motivated staff who shares our Trust values of Care, Learn and Empower. In return, EPUT can offer you a range of benefits and development including;
Season Ticket Loans

NHS discounts for staff

Excellent Training facilities and opportunities

Buying and Selling annual leave scheme

The opportunity to work bank shifts and expand knowledge and experience in other areas
