Whittington Health serves a richly diverse population and 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.

POST SUMMARY

This post is 3 days (0.6) based in the multidisciplinary CAMHS team for Children Looked After (CLA) and care experienced. Services offered by the team are commissioned by Children’s Services and clinicians are located alongside social workers and other practitioners, in an integrated service that aims to improve the experiences and outcomes of children and young people. The post is located with the Under 16s CLA Social Work teams.

**Under 16s CLA Teams (0.6 WTE)**:
The post holder will join other CLA CAMHS clinicians attached to the Under 16s social work teams and offer a range of consultation (group and individual) and clinical work in line with the team’s stepped model of care. Islington’s Social Work model, Motivational Practice, is a relationship-based, purposeful approach with social workers practicing in a trauma informed way, incorporating Dyadic Developmental Practice (DDP). Clinicians are positioned to support social workers, as the lead professionals engaged in existing relationships and work with looked after children and their carers.

A stepped model of care is used with clinical advice and consultation available to social workers through clinician’s contribution to group supervision, consultation to individual social workers, to the ‘parenting team’ and attendance at multi-agency care and placement planning meetings. Direct work is offered when the level of concern about a young person’s presentation or needs indicates a psychological assessment or intervention is required, alongside the work of the parenting team.

The post holds a small clinical caseload (20%), offering specialist assessment and evidence-based interventions to young people and/ or their carers. Clinical work will include specific trauma focused interventions.

There are also opportunities for developing and delivering trainings to social workers and foster carers, including co-facilitating an attachment-based parenting skills group for foster carers with social work colleagues.
