The post will start from September 2022 - Gloucester House Outreach Service
Gloucester House Outreach Service is a unique service, offering skills and experience in both mental health and education. Although it works in partnership with Gloucester House, it is a standalone service that can be purchased by local authorities or schools. The service works with children, families and the professional network around the child – for example schools, CAMHS and children’s services.
The multi-disciplinary service offers bespoke multi-disciplinary education and clinical interventions for children, schools, families and networks to support pupils with complex SEMH needs to remain in mainstream schools. It also provides specialist integrated education and therapeutic packages within the community where a child is unable to be educated and supported within a school setting.
The service also offers specialist consultation and trainings to schools or other partner agencies in the context of supporting children with SEMH needs through the Gloucester House model.
The Service offers support to professional and informal networks and the collaborative coordination of complex networks to achieve coherent and effective care plans. This might include bringing complex networks together, reflective practice staff groups, training.
Gloucester House Outreach is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Deferral and Barring Service.
We are committed to equality, diversity, inclusion and anti racism. We are particularly keen to attract candidates from underrepresented backgrounds to better meet the needs of the service users and students that we serve.
We are an equal opportunities employer.

Values and ethos
We are a leading independent special school with a fully integrated specialist clinical team located in a large Victorian house in Hampstead. Although we are in a separate building, we are part of the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service of the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. For over 50 years Gloucester House has pioneered therapeutic educational work with children. We are a very small school working with up to 21 children aged between 5-14 (Ks 1,2 & 3).
Gloucester House provides a model of good practice that fits the new Education, Health and Care Plans. Therapists, specialist nurses and education staff work closely together to support the learning and development of children with social, emotional and mental health difficulties, their families/carers and the professional network around them.
Gloucester House is warm and welcoming, friendly and purposeful. We believe that all children can progress and achieve. We take great pride in our outcomes for children and families. Developing children’s independence, resilience, progress in learning and understanding of themselves is at the core of our vision. We believe that the children and families we work with benefit from therapeutic education provided by clinicians and education staff working closely. We work with the children in a variety of ways including individual work and group work. At all times we try to understand and learn from children and their families. We provide opportunities for self-reflection as well as nurturing children’s self-esteem and positive social relationships.
Enjoyment, excellence and achievement are at the heart of our curriculum through which we aim to develop a love of learning alongside core competencies in basic skills. We provide a curriculum through which children of all abilities can learn through a rich variety of experiences. In our last Ofsted we were awarded Good status with outstanding features.
We aim to provide outstanding education and care that will prepare them for the next steps in their future. We also hope that children and families who come here will enjoy their time as well as learn from it and leave us with positive memories.
