{"interviewQueryText":"What are some good interview questions in British English for the job description below?\n\n-------------------------------------------\n\nMental Health Practitioner SFP Trainee with Lancashire & South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust in Burnley, England, United Kingdom\n\nEast Lancashire Child and Adolescent Service (ELCAS) has secured funding for a fantastic training opportunity for a new Band 5 Mental Health Practitioner. The successful candidate will be employed by ELCAS delivering systemic family interventions to Children, Young People and their Families, presenting with behaviour difficulties, low mood and self-harm, whilst also completing an AFT accredited Postgraduate Diploma in Systemic Family Practice (SFP). The successful candidates will complete the course as Systemic Family Practitioners, with a nationally recognised qualification that is equivalent to Intermediate level Family Therapy. Therefore, we are seeking enthusiastic individuals with a passion for working with children, who want to develop their skills and knowledge as part of future career progression. Candidates can be from a number of relevant professional backgrounds, including Psychiatric Nurses, Mental Health Social Workers, Occupational Therapists in Mental Health and Accredited Counsellors. Successful candidates will usually have some existing knowledge and experience of systemic interventions. Experience of at least 2 years clinical work with children and young people is essential. Psychology graduates and other professionals such as support workers who work therapeutically with children, young people and families are welcome to apply. However, at least 4 years experience of working with children and young people would usually be required in this instance. This exciting one-year fixed-term training post will see successful candidates working in ELCAS as part of a multi-disciplinary team delivering, under supervision, high-quality, outcome-informed, systemic family interventions (SFP) to children, young people and their families three days per week. Two days will then be spent completing the AFT accredited Postgraduate Diploma in SFP through GMMH PTTC based at Prestwich, Manchester, in partnership with the University of Manchester. Successful candidates will receive high quality clinical supervision both in service and as part of the course, will carry a small caseload of suitable training cases (around 6 to 8 at any one time) and will complete the course with a nationally recognised qualification in SFP. Successful candidates will be expected to start their employment and be available to start this training post in early January 2025 and remain in post for 1 year until they complete the course. Acceptance of this post includes a commitment to organize annual leave around the requirements of the training course. The role involves travel between sites, so access to transport for work purposes is essential. Due to current circumstances the role currently combines home working as well as working in community/hospital settings.
