CNWL (Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust) has almost 8,000 staff providing integrated healthcare to a third of London's population, Milton Keynes and areas beyond. We involve service users, carers, the public, staff and partner organisations in the way that we are run.

Our catchment area spans diverse communities, with over 100 first languages spoken. It contains areas of great affluence as well as areas of much deprivation. We are committed to providing services that meet the needs of the people who use them, and we actively encourage involvement from local people who can help make a difference. We’re proud of our diversity and we continue to undertake new initiatives to advance equality for LGBT+, BME and people with disabilities to promote good relations and understanding between our staff.

We are recognised locally, nationally and internationally for providing high quality, innovative healthcare. We aim to employ only the best people, and our experts are frequently called upon to contribute to national health strategy and policy, and many models of our care have been adapted for use in other countries.

We offer a generous relocation package (subject to eligibility assessment) and flexible working options, including bank assignments for most roles. For more information on these and other benefits of working for us, see our Benefits, Reward and Wellbeing page.

Become part of our team. We care for you as much as you care for others.

CNWL NHS Foundation Trust are committed to safeguarding all children and vulnerable adults and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We follow safe recruitment practices to protect children and vulnerable adults.

Are you a Psychologist/CBT therapist/Psychotherapist/Systemic Psychotherapist who is passionate about working with children, young people, families and communities who have been affected by trauma and grief?

The Grenfell Health and Wellbeing Service is a specialist NHS service set up in response to the fire at Grenfell Tower in June 2017. We offer an integrated service for children, families and adults, and aim to work sensitively, flexibly and responsively in order to meet the needs of the diverse local community.

We are looking for a clinician who is able to work effectively with children, young people, adults and families from a range of backgrounds, who is skilled in adapting evidence‑based therapies for the needs of clients, and who works in a creative, community‑centered, culturally sensitive way. You will provide a valuable liaison role between the team, other agencies and members of the affected community, building and maintenance relationships with local Community groups and organisations along with statutory services also working with the North Kensington community.

This will include developing co‑produced projects around mental health and wellbeing in partnership with multi‑disciplinary colleagues, residents and 3rd sector organisations.

You will carry a clinical caseload and be responsible for the provision of specialist, culturally adapted psychological assessment and interventions working within an appropriate therapeutic model for people presenting with PTSD, traumatic bereavement or other presentations. You may also be expected to offer training and consultation to other members of the team and non‑professional carers or voluntary agency staff. You will work under clinical and management supervision and will be provided with appropriate support.

We would particularly welcome applications from people who have lived or worked in the local North Kensington community, and who reflect the diverse local population that we serve.
