New investment afforded by the national Family Hub/Start for Life programme allows us to build on the good practice we have developed through Lambeth Early Action Partnership (LEAP) and to offer this exciting opportunity.
Want to play your part in helping improve the lives of babies and young children? This role will enable you to gain experience of working in a CAMHS service to support parents or carers to strengthen their relationship with their baby before birth and up to the age of 5. You will be well supported in the PAIRS team as the staff are warm, supportive, highly skilled and committed. Innovation and creativity are strongly encouraged, and you will be joining a multidisciplinary team who are committed and passionate about the work they do and developing the service they deliver.
You must be able to work independently and have good clinical / therapeutic and case management skills. Lambeth is an inner city, ethnically diverse community so a good understanding of diversity issues is essential.
