Systemic Family Therapist

3 months ago

Marlborough, United Kingdom Oxford Health NHS Trust Full time

Job summary

* We welcome applications from you if you are due to qualify this year*

Surrounded by one of the few remaining ancient forests, we have found a magical formula of supporting and looking after each other, which makes coming to work a joy, even when things get tricky or don't go to plan.

As we say a fond farewell to our family therapist who will be moving on, this leaves a systemic shaped space within our team. We are keen to find someone who may be newly qualified, with the skills, enthusiasm and drive to seek out a great team that can offer an amazing career development opportunity.

You will be embedded and well supported by the generosity of excellent team knowledge and experience on both a formal and informal basis. In addition to clinical and management supervision you will be supported by our clinical lead and find yourself part of a wide network of family therapists.

We will tuck you beside the gentle wing of our consultant psychiatrist and augment your development with Maudsley model training to enable you to grow into a confident systemic family therapist working in the eating disorder team. We will also honour profession specific development opportunities and invest in you as an individual.

Our team ethos is uniquely elegant: come to work, be happy, be yourself, do your job, be kind, eat lunch, eat cake and go home on time.

Main duties of the job

As a newly qualified or developing family therapist you will be embedded within our team functions: Core CAMHS and The Eating Disorder Service (TEDS). We will support you to work with a myriad of presentations, develop hypotheses and formulations, provide consultation, run a family therapy clinic, develop your skills in TEDS and generally find your confidence to fledge after one year into a Band 8a systemic family therapist.

Within the IThrive model, we see a variety of young people ranging from mild to complex and work with the myriad of issues between. We are down to earth and hold a young person-centred approach in what we do and with whom we work. We do what needs to be done and work to our strengths, which keeps us fresh and gives us flexibility at work.

Other main duties include:

The assessment and treatment of young people with a wide range of presentations and their families as they arrive to our mental health service. Maintaining a systemic perspective of the young people we see in context and holding formulation hypotheses to deliver evidence-based treatment. Maintain the voice and perspective of the young people we work with and regard their safety as the central aspects in everything we do.

Job responsibilities

At Oxford Health, we do things differently and acknowledge how important it is to have a work life balance. Work can bring both rewards and challenges, but it is this strong supportive team that will get you through the day and keep you smiling on your way home.

Every morning there is an expectant buzz in the office as we catch up in the well stocked kitchen before the daily meeting. We work as a team and support each other beyond meetings and case discussion. There is a strong ethos of valuing and supporting one another that leaks into pastoral care. You will only thrive with this team and develop into a confident and competent practitioner.

We will support you to develop in your career and continue to develop, but what is most important is that you are happy in your role.

The Trust visions are the solid bedrock foundation that embeds everything we do. Our simple team ethos is the mantle that adorns the bedrock and we are proud that we have achieved our local vision of a great, positive and supportive place to work with a good team core of stability.

We have a proactive wellbeing group within our team in addition to this being high on the Oxford Health Trust agenda. Our service invests in training to develop staff skills and career opportunities, and particularly, if you are interested in applying to ABFT to your work, we can offer supervision for this. We have a thorough induction process, and you will be paired with other new starters as you begin to find your feet in your role.

Please see the attached Job Description and Person Specification for more information on the job role.

Applicants must have a full valid driving licence and access to a car for work, if necessary adjustments can be considered in line with the Equality Act 2010.

The service operates 5 days per week Monday to Friday 9am-5pm.

And if you weren't tempted already, hopefully this poem (written by our team) will show just how much we enjoy the work we do.

Come work in a team that we thinks really great,

No, no, no, dont you hesitate.

Family therapists are loved by all the Marlborough team,

Working at Marlborough is an absolute dream.

Youll be helping empower families to re-find their strengths,

While being part of a team that goes to great lengths.

Family therapists give a different perspective,

Which helps the team think and to be objective. So come and work with us right next to the forest,

Perfect for lunch time walks and for a forage.
