The Teams sit within the ‘getting help’ aspect of the Thrive model and work closely with our CAMHS STW colleagues, who deliver specialist CAMHS and assessment services. You will be involved with supporting the implementation and development of the MHSTs, embedding our services within our designated schools. We work from clinic bases and schools across the region to ensure our service is accessible to as many children, young people and families as possible, so flexibility to travel is integral to this role.

We would welcome applications from candidates who are registered and qualified as an EMHP, CWP or with a core profession.

Main duties of the job

• You will work with your colleagues to deliver the three core functions of Mental Health Support Teams.
• You will hold a caseload, undertake assessments and offer brief evidence-based interventions for children and young people presenting with mild to moderate mental health needs. This will include one to one support and group work, with children, young people, parents and carers.
• You will also work collaboratively with schools, young people and their families and offer advice, consultation and training to staff within schools and other agencies where appropriate.
• There is scope for creativity to promote mental health and implement the Whole School Approach within school settings and the community. This will include opportunities for co-production with young people and parents and collaboration with school staff and partner agencies.
