The service will provide integrated behaviour support for smoking cessation, weight management, alcohol reduction, physical activity, cooking and Health MOTs, all embedded in sustainable behaviour change and positive wellbeing.
The successful candidate will provide evidence-based therapeutic interventions to children and young people accessing targeted and specialist family weight management programmes, working collaboratively across a range of locations as part of a multidisciplinary team. Responsibilities will include supporting psychological and risk assessments, developing client and family formulations and care pathways, and delivering individual and systemic therapy to help young people engage with weight management and physical activity interventions. You will work sensitively with complex and personal issues, maintain accurate clinical records, contribute to MDT and multi-agency meetings, and provide professional input into safeguarding and care planning where required. The role will also involve participating in supervision, peer reviews and case discussions, keeping up to date with relevant clinical developments, managing your workload effectively, and working independently or on a lone-working basis while maintaining professional and legal accountability for your practice.
You will be the CYP Therapist for the Healthy Families service within Your Health Oldham.
