Senior Therapist

A position for a Band 7 Senior Therapist has arisen in our clinic in Sheerness. This post would suit newly qualified Psychologists or Psychotherapists, or an experienced clinician with a professional qualification such as Nurse or Social Worker with some additional recognised training such as CBT or DBT.

We offer assessment and treatment to children and young people aged 0-18 years with a wide range of presentations, mental health disorders, complexity and risk. You need to have experience working within a CAMHS service and be able to cope with a fast paced, ever changing environment, whilst responding appropriately to the young people and their families.

As a band 7 you will be expected to offer specific clinical supervision to junior staff, consultations to the wider team and provide specialist interventions to our clients.

Probationary Period

This post will be subject to a probationary period. Internal applicants are exempt from the probationary period (unless you are an internal applicant currently part way through a probationary period or currently a bank member of staff).

Starting with NELFT

NELFT place a great deal of importance on new starters being properly welcomed and inducted into the Trust. All new starters will join the Trust on the first Monday of each month and will undertake a comprehensive induction of up to two weeks which will include mandatory training, systems training and the allocation of equipment. As part of the process new starters will have the opportunity to also meet the executive team, senior managers and attend a number of drop in sessions focussing in engagement, health and wellbeing and key processes. The induction will be held at our head office in Rainham, Essex.

Use of AI

Applications for this role should be written by the applicant. If artificial intelligence (AI) programmes are used then the application may be rejected due to this document being an important part of the assessment process. This does not prevent applicants seeking appropriate support with applications should they need to for the purposes of any declared disability.
