As part of investment within community services, Manchester EIS have additional funding to expand, creating an exciting time to join the service. Manchester EIS have created two full-time Band 6 Family Work Practitioner posts to join two of our EIS teams; one in Central Team (based at Chorlton House) and one in North Team (based at Central Park).
We require highly motivated and committed individuals with a genuine passion for providing evidence-based family interventions (e.g. BFT, CBT-FI, Open Dialogue etc). Our EIS colleagues work alongside each other to offer therapeutic interventions to people experiencing a first episode of psychosis and their family members.
Our service is keen to recruit people who enjoy working in a multi-disciplinary team, who are passionate, motivated, adaptable, and responsive to working with families. As well as facilitating family therapy, post holders will be integrated MDT members working closely with colleagues, alongside having opportunities to contribute to group family therapy supervision within the service.
Although working within a service like ours can involve significant challenges, we have a fantastic collection of colleagues to work alongside, with very low staff turnover.

Post holders will receive regular and consistent clinical and professional supervision; and develop relationships with colleagues service-wide who meet regularly for invaluable peer support.

The posts will function as integral members of the MDT and attend weekly MDT meetings to integrate and improve access to Family interventions.
To support the provision of appropriate information and education to families, carers and the care system.
