About this job

This is an exciting opportunity for a qualified Systemic Family Practitioner (SFP) to be part of an expanding Specialist Perinatal Service, working collaboratively to deliver the ambitions of the NHS Long Term Plan in Greater Manchester.

This includes expansion of psychological therapies to include couples’ and family interventions to women/ families referred to the service.

We have opportunities for 3 full-time (37.5 hours/week) Systemic Family Practitioners (SFP) to work in our service in Greater Manchester (across 3 clusters) – Cluster 1 (Central and South Manchester, Trafford and Stockport) based at Laureate House; Cluster 2 (Bury, Bolton, Salford and Wigan) based at Hexagon Tower; Cluster 3 (North Manchester, Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale, Oldham, Tameside and Glossop) based at Central Park.

Our service provides specialist assessment and intervention for women/birthing people and their families experiencing moderate to severe mental health difficulties during pregnancy and the first post‑natal year.

Our service recognises that perinatal mental health challenges exist within relational and systemic contexts, and your expertise will be integral to our clinical approach.

We are looking for caring, family‑focused and dynamic clinicians who aspire to or have experience of working with women and their families during the perinatal period. The primary purpose of this role is to provide systemic assessment, formulation and intervention to women and their families, and to provide systemic guidance to the MDT under supervision from a Family and Couples and Systemic Psychotherapist.

You will be a specialist resource and contribute to the team’s systemic knowledge and clinical practice via training and upskilling.

This role offers the opportunity to practice thoughtfully and creatively and to make a meaningful difference to families at a particularly vulnerable time.

The position offers excellent professional development opportunities within a supportive and collaborative clinical environment including comprehensive induction, individual clinical supervision with an experienced Couples and Families Systemic Psychotherapist, reflective practice, access to continuing professional development and a supportive multidisciplinary team.
