Job overview
Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust is a Top Employer Award Winner.

It is our quest to deliver patient-focused, developmentally appropriate, quality care; promoting a trauma informed environment together with our operational colleagues and supporting young people and young adults to understand their own health and wellbeing needs and maximise all opportunities to achieve their goals during their stay and beyond.

These two cohorts have slightly different needs and we are looking for staff that understand this and work in line with ‘Child First’ principles.

The post holder will fully embrace the new SECURE STAIRS model, including participating in and co-delivering training, attending team Reflective Practice as a key part of the role, facilitating a therapeutic culture and activities on the units including Community Meetings, contributing to Formulations and, where appropriate, providing supervision to prison staff.
The post holder will work closely with the HWBT Service Lead to deliver and implement an effective Mental healthcare which meets the needs of the young people/young adults in our care in HMYOI Feltham..
