Leeds, United Kingdom Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Are you a Specialist Family Therapist with a passion for strategic service development? Are you looking for a role where you maximise all your skills as a Specialist Family Therapist working into a service that prioritises psychologically informed approaches for service-users stepping down from Level Two Rehabilitation settings into the community? The opportunity is now available for a Band 8A Specialist Family Therapist to join the expanding Community Rehabilitation Enhanced Support Team (CREST) for a 12-month Fixed Term Contract (.6 WTE).

Established in 2021, the team comprises a full multi-professional and peer recovery workforce who deliver new ways of working for people placed out of area (OOA) to effectively be repatriated from inpatient settings and forge new lives nearer to home. The aim is to empower people to define, build and live meaningful, independent and satisfying lives outside of locked settings, often termed “complex rehabilitation” or Level Two rehabilitation. As a regional service we cover Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds, Wakefield. CREST is part of the integrated care systems approach.

We are committed to robust professional leadership, equality, diversity and inclusion and supporting staff wellbeing and CPD. Our Psychological Professions Strategy outlines our vision. We are proud that 100% of LYPFT psychological professionals recently surveyed reported they felt supported by colleagues.

The Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (LYPFT) is the main provider of Mental Health and Learning Disability services in Leeds. We also provide specialist inpatient services in York and some highly specialised services across the country. As a teaching trust with strong links to local universities, we are a centre of excellence for teaching, research and development.

There are many benefits of working for LYPFT including fantastic employee wellbeing support, 27 - 33 days annual leave, flexible working and remote working arrangements, the NHS Pension Scheme, coaching, support and opportunities for career development and training and education support alongside a range of exclusive discounts and payment schemes including for cars, extra leave days and more NHS Discount Offers.

We also have an incredible bank department, offering variety of roles in nursing, allied health professions, healthcare support worker and administration clerical. Permanent employees are automatically added to bank.

Applicants should be aware that for any individual who requires a visa to work in the UK, the Trust provides sponsorship for registered healthcare practitioner roles only. This is an essential requirement of the role, and the Trust is unable to offer you a role if you are unable to meet Trust requirements for sponsorship and Home Office requirements for a visa.

As a Specialist Family Therapist working alongside a growing team of psychological practitioners, a full MDT and peer recovery workforce you would share your expertise and commitment to working with people experiencing severe and enduring mental health difficulties, which includes psychosis, trauma and risks of harm.

Supporting your development will be a priority of the service. You would be supported by a team comprising consultant psychologists, a principal psychologist, and a wider leadership group to empower individuals and teams to increase knowledge, skills, and professional confidence in improving service user outcomes. In addition, you will have the opportunity to develop relationships with the wider Family Therapy team within LYPFT and access appropriate support and supervision from this team.

You would expand your knowledge and experience working across the Trust and region-wide ICS clinical and organisational landscape. As it is a new and developing service, you would have the opportunity to take a role in aspects of service design and development, supporting the team deliver effective approaches utilising both best practice and cutting-edge innovation to deliver the highest quality care. You would be invested in to consolidate and expand your professional development, through regular supervision, relevant CPD, training and development opportunities.

Flexible working hours can be discussed and as the role is regionwide, there would be combined direct and remote working to optimise both clinical delivery and staff wellbeing. Secondments to the service will also be considered.
