Formed in 2001 through the merger of its predecessor organizations, Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust (BEH-MHT) continues to innovate and develop at a fast pace. We are a large mental health trust in London with an annual budget of £337 million and employing more than 3,300 staff. We serve a population of 1.2 million and operate from over 20 main sites in the community. In 2020-21 the trust cared for more than 126,176 people; approximately 2,800 patients on our wards and over 128,388 service users in the community.

We provide a wide range of local and more specialist mental health services, including helping people with serious mental illness (SMI), personality disorders, drug and alcohol recovery, children’s mental health issues, dementia, eating disorders, learning disabilities, ADHD and suicide prevention. The Trust has an overall Care Quality Commission (CQC) rating as ‘Good’ from 2019 and retained the ‘good’ rating in 2022. It also runs the North London Forensic Service (NLFS), which the CQC has rated as Outstanding.

Our CEO, Jinjer Kandola MBE has been appointed to be joint CEO for both BEH and Camden and Islington Trust, bringing the two organisations ever closer together and they are now working in a partnership across North Central London. This is allowing for the joint expertise, increased innovation and reduction in barriers with joint initiatives.

The Enfield South Locality Team is part of the Enfield Community Mental Health Services. Other teams include the Enfield North Locality Team; the Enfield Community Rehab Team; the Enfield Early Intervention Service; the Enfield Complex Emotional Needs Service; and the Enfield Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Team. The Enfield Community Mental Health Team for Older Adults and the Enfield Memory Service are also included.

The advertised post is for a consultant in the Enfield South Locality Team.

The Enfield Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Team holds a caseload between on average 30 - 40 clients and works closely with the inpatient teams as part of their role as gatekeepers for hospital admissions.

The Enfield Acute Services are based at Chase Farm Hospital and include 4 inpatient general adult wards (one of which is a male PICU), a male rehabilitation ward (Somerset villa), and 3 other Older Adult inpatient wards.

Community Services have an established and close working relationship with the Psychiatric Liaison Service at the North Middlesex University Hospital, which runs a dedicated psychiatric A&E unit called “Horizon”. There are also close links with the Psychiatric Liaison Service at Barnet General Hospital. There are Health Based Places of Safety (HBPoS) at Chase Farm Hospital and Highgate, and patients from BEH also have access to the Mental Health Crisis Assessment Centre (MHCAS) provided by Camden and Islington. The Enfield Urgent Care Service is supported by the Enfield Local Authority Approved Mental Health Professionals (AMHP) service.

The Enfield Consultant body is a close-knit group of 15 colleagues, mostly holding substantive posts, which meet regularly in formal and informal meetings scheduled on a weekly basis via MS teams on a Monday. Various issues arediscussed i.e. local and trust-wide managerial issues, vacancies, training concerns, etc. The Clinical Directors (CDs) and Enfield Associate Clinical Director (ACD) regularly attend this meeting and update the consultant body. Consultants are actively encouraged and supportive to take on management and leadership roles and to contribute to the broader strategic planning of the Trust. There are regular trust academic conferences (trust wide academic program on Wednesday afternoons via MS Teams) and trust corporate conferences (twice yearly).

The consultant group has an established culture of mutual support, collaborative working and shared decision making. In addition to this, the partnership holds joint Medical and Clinical Advisory Groups for all consultants, currently virtual and 2-monthly although this program is subject to review.

Consultants are expected to regularly attend the weekly consultant meeting and the weekly academic program. Whilst several CPD peer groups have formed within Enfield, the consultants are also encouraged to seek peer groups outside the organization as an opportunity to network and share experience with colleagues from other services. A monthly Balint-Group for consultants has re-started. This gives opportunity to conduct in-depth case-based discussions (CbD) required for annual appraisals and revalidation. New consultants (up to five years following appointments) are encourages to link in as a group and are supported by the Medical Leads during their induction. New consultants are also encouraged to make use of the Start Well program facilitated by the Royal College of Psychiatrists. All new consultants are given the opportunity to seek a mentor within or outside the organization as part of their job plan.

The post also comes at a time of extra resources being made available to the community services to have a broader remit to engage clients who are traditionally caught between primary and secondary care, offer help at the point of crisis (with the aim of cutting waiting times) and offering evidence based psychological treatment and physical health monitoring in line with national standards. The increased recruitment of voluntary care sector staff is with the awareness that clinical care accounts for only 20% of health outcomes, while socioeconomic, behavioural, and environmental factors determine the remaining 80%.

In order tomeet the needs of the new Partnership services you may berequiredfrom time to time to work atdifferent locationsto your normal place of work. This may mean that youare required towork at any location that fall underBarnet,Enfield and Harringay Trust and Camden and Islington Trust. The Trust reserves the right to require staff to work at such other places or locations as it considers reasonable and necessary on a temporary or permanent basis.


This is an exciting opportunity to continue the development of Trauma Informed Practice within the psychological provision in these services. The post holder will lead on this initiative with support from senior divisional staff including the Haringey adult psychology lead. You will be based at St. Ann’s Hospital where the inpatient wards are accommodated in Blossom Court, a recently built state of the art mental health unit with an adjacent day therapy centre.



The opening of Blossom Court created an opportunity to rethink the clinical model of care of the Urgent Care Service alongside the remodelling of the physical environment. The new clinical model, created following a series of workshops with service users and carers, aims to develop a service with a more systemic and trauma informed approach. Along with senior Urgent Care staff you will be central to the continued development of this model with Trauma Informed Practice at its core. We are proud of the progress we have made in Urgent Care and are keen to maintain and further these accomplishments. Urgent Care Psychology in Haringey benefits from strong relationships with the urgent care pathways across our partnership. The Urgent Care Psychology post provides an excellent opportunity to develop leadership and management skills in the coordination of the established team of psychological therapists in the department.



Haringey community services have recently benefitted from the transformation agenda of the NHS Long Term Plan for mental health. This has meant more substantive collaboration and integration between our services and local community organisations with increased funding for posts across both sectors. Trauma Informed Practice is again core to these developments, and you will work with senior staff in the Community Rehabilitation Team to develop and support trauma informed care programmes within the team provision.



This is a great opportunity for the right individual to develop clinical, strategic and managerial leadership skills, and in particular to shape the way in which psychological and psychotherapeutic approaches can be applied within the Urgent Care and Community Rehabilitation settings to improve the overall quality and effectiveness of what is offered.



We would also welcome applicants with the enthusiasm and training needed but whose level of experience may not quite be at the level required for this leadership post. For the right candidate we would consider a developmental appointment in which they work into the full banding over a set period of time and with appropriate support and training from our senior psychology and psychotherapy staff. We are also happy to discuss potential job shares and flexible working arrangements.



We strongly encourage potential candidates to contact us for informal discussion and further information by calling or emailing Daniel Skehan, Consultant Clinical Psychologist on 020 87026535 or daniel.skehan@nhs.net
