The Family and Systemic Psychotherapist will provide specialist psychological assessment, formulation and therapy to children, young people and families within the Child and Family Health Devon service. The role requires an appropriate professional qualification in family and systemic psychotherapy, registration with the relevant UK professional body, substantial clinical experience and knowledge of safeguarding, risk assessment and NHS practice. The successful candidate should be confident working with complex presentations, able to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and committed to recovery-focused, inclusive and evidence-based care. Strong communication, clinical documentation, supervision, consultation and service-development skills are expected, together with the ability to work independently and travel between community locations when required.

The United Kingdom offers employment across the NHS, social care, technology, engineering, education, finance and hospitality sectors, with London and major cities generally providing the widest choice. British culture is diverse and multicultural, with strong traditions in public services, sport, music and community life. Lifestyle varies from busy urban living to quieter coastal and rural areas; public transport is extensive but housing costs can be high, especially in London and the South East. Overseas professionals usually need a suitable visa, such as the Health and Care Worker visa for eligible NHS roles, and must meet sponsorship, English-language and professional-registration requirements. Relocating involves arranging accommodation, a National Insurance number, banking, healthcare access and sometimes school places. Devon offers attractive countryside, coastline and a slower pace, though transport and housing availability should be researched carefully before moving.
