Job description

Job responsibilities

Attach is a psychology-led service supporting children in care that has recently launched within West Sussex County Council. We offer direct therapy, support for foster and residential carers and reflective supervision and training for social work colleagues with the aim of improving the lives of young people in care. The Projects team is a specialised branch of the Attach service, working into projects that are a priority for Childrens Services. The main projects we work into at the moment are:

• REACH this is a wraparound service supporting children to step down from residential homes into foster care. REACH also support foster families where there is a risk of placement breakdown and residential care is likely. REACH is a small team of social workers and child and family workers. It is anticipated that the psychologist working into REACH would offer consultation to professional networks, therapeutic parenting support to foster carers and holding a small caseload of direct therapy cases.
• The Childrens Collaborative this is an innovative project aimed at reducing the number of children that are placed in expensive out of area placements with independent providers. The Childrens Collaborative works with commissioners and independent providers to increase the number of residential placements available locally and offers training and therapeutic support through West Sussex County Council. The ATTACH Projects team will be working with the Childrens Collaborative to provide a therapeutic offer for the residential homes within this project. It is anticipated that this will include therapeutic parenting training/ support for residential carers, reflective practice, consultation and team formulation, as well as holding a small caseload of direct therapy cases.

As the Attach Projects team and the projects that we are working into are relatively new, there are real opportunities for innovation here, including the possibility of shaping a service to fit the needs of the children and services we are supporting. We are looking for clinicians who are passionate about improving outcomes for children in care and who have energy and enthusiasm to help grow and shape a new service.

As a senior psychological practitioner in the team the role will involve clinically supporting other staff and taking on some supervision and delegated leadership responsibilities. There will also be opportunities to be involved in service development and training delivery.

The post holders will receive a comprehensive induction which will include opportunities to shadow and to co-work.

The post holders will receive regular clinical supervision from the Principal Clinical Psychologists in the Attach Projects team, in addition to ongoing opportunities for co-working and taking part in regular team case discussions.
