Bury, United Kingdom Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We hope that you will join us as our Band 4 Assistant Psychologist, supporting the delivery of the new Young People’s Specialist Support Team (previously known as the Intensive Therapeutic Short Break Service) across the Pennine Care footprint.

This is an Assistant Psychologist role within a new multiagency team comprising clinical psychology, learning disability nursing, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy and support workers. The Young People’s Specialist Support Team sits alongside the Community Learning Disability and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services across the footprint, consisting of community learning disability nursing, clinical psychology and psychiatry.

The team will be working with a small number of children and young people who have severe learning disabilities and who have been identified as having complex needs including autism and/or behaviour that challenges, that require intensive support. Working alongside the local respite and short breaks services, the Young People’s Specialist Support Team will work together to create, instigate and support trauma-focused, person-centred, positive behaviour support plans with the aim of improving the quality of life for this group of children and young people and reduce any restrictions or restraints (in accordance with NICE guidance).

The post holder will have experience working with children and young people and have developed some skills in assessment, formulation, intervention and evaluation. The postholder will have experience of working in multi-agency settings. Due to the level of independent working and management of risk, the postholder is expected to have experience of working with this client group and an interest in working with children with learning disabilities and complex needs.

This is a chance to be involved in helping to deliver a service based on the principles of the Ealing Model, including positive behavioural support and trauma informed interventions, whilst drawing on your knowledge and expertise of the needs of this population. It is an exciting and transformational project. You will support the Team with the mobilisation of this model across our five localities, linking to the dynamic risk register and working alongside families.

This is a role that will truly enable you to make a system wide difference to children with severe learning disabilities and complex needs. Work with us and put your passion into practice. See that attached job description for detailed duties and responsibilties
