Systemic Practitioner - WMF1351e

Job description

Salary: £42,403 to £43,421

Hours: 37 hours per week

Location: Kendal, Penrith, or Barrow (including agile working/working from home)

Contract: Fixed Term for 12 Months / Fixed Term until December 2025 (dependent on start date)

We are seeking an experienced Systemic Practitioner to join our Family Help Service on an innovative pilot scheme to support the embedding of systemic practice. Systemic practice has its roots in systemic therapy, which focuses on group relationships or networks, such as family and friends, rather than solely on an individual's thoughts and feelings.

Our Westmorland and Furness Childrens Services team recently received a rating of 'good' overall in our first routine Ofsted inspection and are committed to making continuous improvements to our service. If you have experience of training in systematic practice, supervision, and reflective practice, and are looking for a role where you will work collaboratively with a team who are passionate about development and positive change, then we would love to hear from you.

We are looking forward to offering this opportunity to a qualified and passionate individual who can support us in making a real difference to children and families in Westmorland and Furness and support the development of our dedicated Family Help Service. You will have a great working knowledge of current developments in Systematic Psychotherapy and systematic practice in children's social care and an understanding of local authority Family Help services within a social care context.

In this role, you will be fundamental in supporting our teams to develop their skills in working with young people and families who experience multiple and complex needs, including developing systematic practice through advice and consultation. You will plan, develop, and deliver specialist training and will represent the systematic psychotherapy discipline more widely within our Childrens Services.
