This includes high levels of resident satisfaction, the quality of our services, our success in addressing our financial challenges to date, the way that we involve and engage with residents on key issues facing the borough, and the enthusiastic and motivated staff that we employ. Looking ahead, there are plans for the delivery of new homes and new schools and the London Cancer Hub is being developed, while the Council is also seen as a driving force within the South London Partnership of five outer south west London boroughs focused on strategic growth, regeneration and investment. All of this demonstrates a good track record and an authority that is ambitious and set to deliver more improvements for the borough. We've set out our vision for the future of Sutton in our corporate plan - Ambitious for Sutton. This strategic plan will shape the outcomes we achieve, the services we provide, and the impact we have on residents, to make Sutton a great place to live, work and raise a family. Situated in Zone 5, Sutton is less than 30 minutes by train from central London, and south and south west London are easily accessible by public transport. There are 10 train stations which serve key neighbourhoods within the borough providing direct connections to London Victoria, London Bridge, London Blackfriars and St Pancras International. Sutton also has direct rail connections with Epsom, Dorking, Guildford and Horsham, as well as Wimbledon for an interchange with the London Underground and West Croydon for the London Overground. There's also an extensive road network which provides close and easy access to the M25 and M23. About the Service and Team : The Therapeutic Hub is an innovative multi-disciplinary team staffed by experienced and qualified practitioners, and the team benefits from the expertise of professionals from mental health, speech and language, education and social care. We work together to offer therapeutic support to children and young people open to Children's Services who have emerging or complex mental health or behavioural needs. This includes young people who are accommodated in residential or foster care. The range of work with children and families is varied, dynamic and constantly developing in response to changes in the fields of developmental trauma, attachment and neurodevelopment. The Therapeutic Hub supports the embedding of Sutton's practice models by promoting a restorative and trauma informed approach in our work, not only with children and families but also the systems surrounding them. STARS is a medical pupil referral unit for children and young people, 5-16yrs, with complex medical needs, who reside in the London Borough of Sutton. STARS provides education and a 12-week intervention for pupils who are unable to attend their mainstream school. Based at The Drapers Centre, STARS is an Ofsted 'Outstanding' education environment who work closely with schools to ensure continuity of education, and to achieve the overall goal of nurturing children and young people back into mainstream school. About the Role and Our Ideal Candidate : Full-time (36 hours per week) Fixed term (1 year) with the potential to extend, subject to review. Grade 9 - Salary range £47,532 - £57,663 (unconsolidated maximum) The Mental Health and Family Systems Specialist will be employed by a multidisciplinary Therapeutic Hub, which is a service within Sutton Children's Services that provides consultations, assessments and therapeutic interventions to the children and families open to social care. The Mental Health and Family Systems Specialist will offer time-limited therapeutic interventions to improve the mental health, emotional wellbeing and educational outcomes of children and young people. There will be opportunities for family interventions to address any family issues that may be contributing to, or being influenced by, the presenting challenges.

This role will be split between two provisions throughout the year. During term time (39 weeks per year) the post-holder will be based on-site at the Sutton Tuition and Reintegration Service (STARS) for 3-days per week. The other 2-days of those weeks will be spent supporting the work of the Therapeutic Hub. During non-term time (13 weeks per year), the post-holder will be based 5-days per week in the Therapeutic Hub. This post offers an exciting opportunity for an individual to contribute to the development of this role within both environments. The post-holder will also be expected to support service development through sharing knowledge, delivering training and group supervision, management support (if required), and providing high quality casework support.
