We provide a broad range of specialist services to children, young people and families across Hackney and the City of London, working closely with colleagues across health, education, social care and the voluntary sector.

Successful applicants will be both employees of the service and enrolled students with UCL/Anna Freud and will be expected to meet the academic and clinical requirements of the training programme. Successful completion leads to a UCL Postgraduate Diploma.
