We've set out our vision for the future of Sutton in our corporate plan - Ambitious for Sutton. This strategic plan will shape the outcomes we achieve, the services we provide, and the impact we have on residents, to make Sutton a great place to live, work and raise a family.</p><p>Situated in Zone 5, Sutton is less than 30 minutes by train from central London, and south and south west London are easily accessible by public transport. There are 10 train stations which serve key neighbourhoods within the borough providing direct connections to London Victoria, London Bridge, London Blackfriars and St Pancras International. Sutton also has direct rail connections with Epsom, Dorking, Guildford and Horsham, as well as Wimbledon for an interchange with the London Underground and West Croydon for the London Overground. There’s also an extensive road network which provides close and easy access to the M25 and M23.</p><p><strong>About the Service and Team</strong></p><p>The Therapeutic Hub is an innovative multi-disciplinary team staffed by experienced and qualified practitioners, and the team benefits from the expertise of professionals from mental health, speech and language, education and social care. We work together to offer therapeutic support to children and young people open to Children’s Services who have emerging or complex mental health or behavioural needs. This includes young people who are accommodated in residential or foster care. The range of work with children and families is varied, dynamic and constantly developing in response to changes in the fields of developmental trauma, attachment and neurodevelopment. The Therapeutic Hub supports the embedding of Sutton's practice models by promoting a restorative and trauma informed approach in our work, not only with children and families but also the systems surrounding them. </p><br><p>STARS is a medical pupil referral unit for children and young people, 5-16yrs, with complex medical needs, who reside in the London Borough of Sutton. STARS provides education and a 12-week intervention for pupils who are unable to attend their mainstream school. Based at The Drapers Centre, STARS is an Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ education environment who work closely with schools to ensure continuity of education, and to achieve the overall goal of nurturing children and young people back into mainstream school. </p><p><strong>About the Role and Our Ideal Candidate</strong></p><p><strong>Full-time (36 hours per week)</strong></p><p><strong>Fixed term (1 year) </strong><strong>with the potential to extend, subject to review.  </strong></p><p><strong>Grade 9 - Salary range £47,532 - £57,663 (unconsolidated maximum)</strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p>The Mental Health and Family Systems Specialist will be employed by a multidisciplinary Therapeutic Hub, which is a service within Sutton Children’s Services that provides consultations, assessments and therapeutic interventions to the children and families open to social care. </p><p>The Mental Health and Family Systems Specialist will offer time-limited therapeutic interventions to improve the mental health, emotional wellbeing and educational outcomes of children and young people. There will be opportunities for family interventions to address any family issues that may be contributing to, or being influenced by, the presenting challenges. The ultimate aim of the postholder is to achieve better outcomes for children by supporting their reintegration to school, helping to improve their mental health, and by increasing the stability of the family unit or placement.</p><p>This role will be split between two provisions throughout the year. During term time (39 weeks per year) the post-holder will be based on-site at the Sutton Tuition and Reintegration Service (STARS) for 3-days per week. The other 2-days of those weeks will be spent supporting the work of the Therapeutic Hub. During non-term time (13 weeks per year), the post-holder will be based 5-days per week in the Therapeutic Hub. </p><p>This post offers an exciting opportunity for an individual to contribute to the development of this role within both environments. The post-holder will also be expected to support service development through sharing knowledge, delivering training and group supervision, management support (if required), and providing high quality casework support. We recognise this work is highly complex and requires a high degree of dedication and personal resources, therefore clinical supervision will be provided.</p><p></p><p>We are looking for an exceptional individual to join us and to make a real difference in the lives of children and their families. You will be a self-motivated and enthusiastic professional with significant post-qualifying experience of working within a clinical/therapeutic role. You will hold a recognised accredited qualification in a clinical/therapeutic discipline, be registered with a professional body, and have significant post-qualifying experience in applying your clinical/therapeutic skills. Knowledge of trauma informed practice is essential.  </p><p>This role will be suitable for the following types of professionals: Clinical Psychologist, Counselling Psychologist, Mental Health Nurse, Learning Disability Nurse, or a Therapist. Other professionals who have received clinical training and have the requisite experience and accreditation may also be eligible.</p><p><strong>Our Offer to You</strong></p><p>As an organisation that values and nurtures talent, we’re committed to helping you fulfil your potential and will offer you a supportive, friendly and collaborative environment to grow and develop your career and skills. We’re constantly striving to improve our ways of working so putting your ideas across - however big or small - will be fully encouraged and supported by your colleagues and our dynamic and experienced management team.</p><p>In addition, we offer a modern and flexible working environment for our staff, supported by our IT infrastructure, including Google Chromebooks and Google Apps. Our Flexible Working - Smarter Working Scheme embraces new ways of working. It provides improved work life balance for our staff as it allows staff to work from a variety of locations and staff are not required to work within the office 5 days a week.</p><p>Employees have access to a wide range of benefits, some of which include:</p><ul>\n<li>Generous annual leave entitlement plus bank holidays (pro-rata if part-time working hours apply)</li>\n<li>General Council Flexi-time (Please note, this applies to roles at grades 1-9 only)</li>\n<li>Public Health Service Localised Flexi-time Scheme - accrual of up to 5 days per year </li>\n<li>Three volunteering days per year in Sutton</li>\n<li>Comprehensive learning and development programme</li>\n<li>Local and national discounts for shopping, eating out and leisure activities</li>\n<li>Interest free season ticket loans</li>\n<li>Local Government Pension Scheme</li>\n<li>Car parking scheme</li>\n<li>Bicycle loan facilities and cycle to work scheme</li>\n<li>Zip car scheme</li>\n<li>Free eye tests and contribution towards glasses</li>\n<li>Confidential wellbeing and counselling support</li>\n<li>Subsidised gym membership</li>\n</ul><p><strong>Application Process</strong></p><p>Please apply online outlining what skills, abilities and experience you can bring which makes you an ideal candidate for this role.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy once a sufficient number of applications has been received. Therefore, it is strongly advised that you complete and submit your application as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.</p><p><strong>Additional Information</strong></p><p>We pride ourselves on being a diverse, inclusive and welcoming Borough and we aim to create a workforce which reflects the community we serve - the key highlights from our recent Equalities Workforce Report can be seen <a href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KGMTYxsYV0WkCbJAHTDyEDSVwv5YDX9A/view?usp=sharing\">here.</a> We are respectful of difference and realise the positive value of diversity in our workforce.
