This is an exciting opportunity for a qualified Education Mental Health Practitioner (EMHP) to join the Lambeth Mental Health Support Team (MHST).
You will work in a multi-disciplinary, early intervention service which aims to increase and improve mental health and wellbeing for the whole school community within education settings for 5 - 18 year olds.
The team consists of multidisciplinary professionals who come from a variety of training backgrounds bringing in a wealth of experience and expertise. This includes: Systemic Family Therapist, Systemic Family Practitioners, Social Work, Education Psychologists, Arts Psychotherapists, Occupational Therapy, CBT Therapists, Senior Wellbeing Practitioner, Education Mental Health Practitioners, Quality Assurance and Communications Lead and Senior Administrative Support.

As a qualified practitioner, you will use your skills, knowledge, and experience to work autonomously, with appropriate supervision from senior staff, and in close collaboration with education and health colleagues.
