An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the West London Forensic Service in Ealing as part of our well-established Systemic Family Work Team. The team provides systemic psychotherapy to service users with complex mental health needs across medium and low secure services and within the community.
We are seeking a qualified Family and Systemic Psychotherapist to join us on a full-time basis, although part-time hours will be considered. The role offers excellent CPD opportunities alongside involvement in research, teaching, consultation, and supervision within the Psychological Therapies Department.
Appointments may be made at Band 7 or Band 8a, depending on experience. Candidates appointed at Band 7 will be supported through a structured preceptorship programme with a clear pathway to Band 8a progression.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a supportive and specialist forensic service and make a meaningful difference to the lives of service users and their families.
Main duties of the job
Working within a secure forensic environment offers a unique opportunity to build meaningful therapeutic relationships with adults and their families over time. The service enables creative, sustained systemic work, supporting people to rebuild relationships, strengthen support networks and reconnect with aspects of their identity beyond that of being a patient.
Our service works with people who have experienced significant trauma, marginalisation and social disadvantage, alongside enduring mental illness and complex emotional needs. As a Family and Systemic Psychotherapist, you will play a key role in supporting recovery, resilience and lasting positive change.
You will work closely with colleagues in our Reflecting Team, using a collaborative and compassionate approach to support families through complex and emotionally demanding situations. The role provides excellent opportunities to develop specialist systemic practice, with regular supervision, peer support and reflective practice.
You will also work in partnership with multidisciplinary teams across the forensic service, providing expert consultation, formulation and systemic interventions at individual, family and team levels. By building strong collaborative relationships, you will help deliver psychologically informed, family inclusive care and make a meaningful difference to the lives of patients and those closest to them.

Job summary
This is a new consultant post created to provide medical leadership to Hammersmith & Fulham's new Complex Psychosis Team, which brings together the existing Community Rehabilitation Service (CRS) and a new Assertive Outreach (AO) function under a single clinical and operational structure, each delivered as a distinct "arm" of one team with a single Service Manager. The post holder will hold overall medical responsibility for both arms, working closely with a 0.5 WTE Specialty (SAS) Doctor whose recruitment is running in parallel with this post.
Because the AO function is a new, NHS England-mandated service still in its mobilisation phase, this post carries a genuine and time-limited service development component: helping to finalise the tri-borough clinical model, establishing pathways and standard operating procedures, and shaping caseload and workforce arrangements as the service beds in. This is reflected explicitly in the job plan (Section 9)
Main duties of the job
Direct clinical care across the CRS and AO arms: new assessments, ongoing reviews, medication management, CTO reviews, and Mental Health Act assessments as required.
Assertive, community-based contact with the AO cohort, including home visits and joint visits with care co-ordinators, reflecting the AO model's emphasis on engagement as a therapeutic intervention.
Weekly multidisciplinary team meeting for the Complex Psychosis Team (both arms), plus daily flagging/triage of urgent concerns.
Support to the team's duty function for urgent risk and safeguarding concerns.
The post holder will be an Approved Clinician under the Mental Health Act and to hold Section 12 approval, consistent with the clinical responsibilities of this role.
No dedicated outpatient clinic ratio applies in the traditional sense; clinical contact is organised around MDT review clinics, home/community visits and duty cover, as set out in the job plan (Section 9). There are no inpatient beds or day-patient services attached to this post.
Be professionally accountable to the Clinical Director - H&F and the H&F Clinical Lead for Community Mental Health Services, and operationally accountable to the Clinical Director - H&F and the Service Manager for the Complex Psychosis Team.
Be a member of the H&F Medical Advisory Committee (MAC), contributing to operational and strategic matters and to discussion of major service developments.

Are you a passionate CAMHS Clinical Nurse Specialist with strong experience supporting children and young people with mental health needs? This is an exciting opportunity to bring your expertise to Hounslow CAMHS as a Band 7 Clinical Nurse Specialist within our dynamic Adolescent Team.
As a CAMHS Clinical Nurse Specialist within the Tier 3 CAMHS Adolescent Team, you will join a collaborative multi disciplinary team where your skills, insight, and professional voice are truly valued. This role offers the chance to make a significant difference through direct clinical work, providing assessments and interventions, while also contributing to a culture of shared learning by offering supervision, consultation, and training to colleagues and partners across agencies.
