Assistant Practitioner Role in Central Youth Service
We are looking for people interested in the Assistant Practitioner role in our Central Youth service. The service itself is a community mental health team for young people aged between 14 and 25 years old, staffed by a range of professionals across various disciplines.
We are looking for two committed and enthusiastic Assistant Practitioners to work within our team, to help deliver brief interventions to service users as well as their carers and families. These roles are specifically aimed at working to reduce our current treatment waiting lists.
The role is a community-based one with an opportunity to travel to meet young people, but will also operate from 80 St Stephens Street, Norwich.
The working patterns are flexible, and we are happy to receive applications from those who want part-time as well as full-time.
Whilst experience working with children and young people would make you perfectly suited to this role, we are really open to welcoming people from a variety of different backgrounds who have experience in other areas of mental health. We understand that you will be able to bring with you a wealth of skills and experience to the team and would welcome ways of thinking.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We are looking for someone who has a passion for working with young people and their families.
The role of the Assistant Practitioner involves holding a caseload of young people aged 14-25 with a variety of different needs. You would work closely with the multi-disciplinary team, which includes mental health nurses, psychologists, medics, occupational therapists, social workers, and family therapists. You would deliver brief, focused interventions with some of your service users and others you would work alongside a more senior member of staff.
You would have access to a lot of training, and the team have forums such as reflective practice, daily huddles, and learning slots, which means you have the opportunity to develop your knowledge and access specific training in areas that interest you.
Here at NSFT, we pride ourselves on being a welcoming, talented, friendly, and supportive team who like nothing better than sharing experiences and learning from each other. In addition to ongoing training and development opportunities, we are committed to providing an environment in which you can thrive.
