Our CAMHS Eating Disorder Service Opportunity
Our CAMHS Eating Disorder Service has an exciting opportunity for a Recruit to Train (RTT) Trainee / Trainee Systemic Family Practice (SFP) Practitioner, as part of the NHS England (NHSE) funded Children and Young People (CYP) Psychological Training Programmes (formerly CYP-IAPT).
Recruit to Train is a government-funded initiative aiming to grow the child mental health workforce to meet much-needed demand. To help reach this goal, NHSE covers salary and training costs for a 1-year post, allowing services to employ trainees to aid in implementing new or expanding existing specialist pathways to bridge the gaps in CYP mental health support.
This is a unique opportunity to apply your learning from weekly teaching into practical clinical interventions working with clients in the service, making a direct impact in the lives of children, young people, and their families.
Please note: The position will be based at 1 Armstrong Way, Southall, UB2 4SD but successful candidates will be expected to travel to Denmark Hill Campus of King’s College London for teaching during the training year.
More information about the course content and the different modalities can be found on the King’s CYP webpage: https://www.kings-cyp.com/page/recruit-to-train
This is a training position, and so all candidates will need to apply for both the trainee role with our organization and with King’s College London in order to be shortlisted. Please see our Candidate Pack for further details.

About the Role
We are recruiting a SFP Practitioner to work within our West London CAMHS Eating Disorder Team. This is a training role within the Child and Young Persons Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (CYP-IAPT) Programme. We offer high-quality supervision, with excellent CPD and career development opportunities.
This is a one-year fixed-term post (1.0 WTE), with this training year funded by NHSE. After successful completion of the course, the fixed-term training contract will end; however, applicants would be encouraged to apply for any vacant posts within the service and will be provided support and advice in job applications.
This role will be best suited for applicants that are able to balance a very busy work and study schedule. You will be an employee at the service but also enrolled on a Postgraduate Diploma course. As this is a Postgraduate level training, you will be required to study and perform at an academic level. Applicants must be prepared to work towards their studies outside of protected study time (such as on weekends and after work). Protected study time or teaching days are typically two days a week during term (with possibility of extra university days near start) and will be a mixture of in-person and online sessions. Applicants must be willing to travel into London to attend their lectures.
