We help young people cope with cancer in their family. Through Canteen, they learn to explore and deal with their feelings about cancer, connect with other young people in the same boat and if they’ve been diagnosed themselves, we provide specialist, youth-specific treatment teams.
By feeling understood and supported, young people develop resilience and can rebuild the foundations that crumbled beneath them when cancer turned their life upside down.
No matter which role you are in, working for Canteen is how you can be the difference.
As the Senior Clinician you will carry a caseload which may have young people and parents with higher needs or who are experiencing greater complexity in their circumstances. You will also be involved in the provision of mentoring and support to junior colleagues, act as an immediate escalation point to local staff, strategy and chairing/ coordinating Psychosocial Review Meetings (PRM) and Case Reviews as required by the National Clinical Advisor.
The Senior Clinician will hold tertiary qualifications in psychology, social work, Occupational Therapy, Counselling or a related field. Although most work will be conducted during the day, some of our young people and families may require structured/ pre-approved supported interventions during the evening and on weekends, so you must be willing to accommodate this. The role will be an immediate and local escalation and touch point for psychosocial staff for the purposes of ad-hoc consultation and support where required.
