No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Team and Vision
We are a small, welcoming, and dedicated team, with a strong commitment to anti-racism and inclusive practices in all that we do. Our vision is that all adopted children and children in care in Lewisham can access timely and appropriate mental health support, to improve their emotional wellbeing and continue working towards their goals.
Our Aims
- Support young people to achieve their goals with respect to their emotional wellbeing, health, education and career, and family and social life.
- Support young people and families to avoid the poor outcomes often associated with adoption and living in care, including poor mental health, adoption or placement breakdown, poor school performance and exclusion, social isolation, and contact with the criminal justice system.
- Provide timely, person-centred, trauma-informed, and culturally competent mental health assessment and treatment.
