Please note this role is only open to those who have completed a diploma in Children's Wellbeing Practice or Education Mental Health Practice and are eligible to register with BABCP. No other registrations or unqualified applicants will be shortlisted.

The post holder will work in schools and in community locations. This post is suitable for someone who is passionate about intervening early to support children, young people and their family who need support with managing their mental health and emotional wellbeing to enable them to thrive.
