Dorset Mental Health Support Teams in Schools (MHSTs) are excited to recruit Qualified or Trainee Senior Wellbeing Practitioners/Supervisors (Band 6) to join our friendly and forward-thinking teams, covering the Pan Dorset area.
About the Role
This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a service that sits right at the heart of schools, making a real difference to the mental health and wellbeing of children, young people, and their families. Our MHSTs provide support to those experiencing mild to moderate mental health needs, working closely within education settings to promote early intervention and positive outcomes.
Key Responsibilities
- Part-time Training Program: If you are applying for a training post, you will undertake a part-time programme with the University of Exeter starting in January 2027, over two years.
- Clinical Expertise: You will already hold a Low Intensity CBT qualification (with either CYP or adult experience).
- Leadership and Supervision: This role offers the opportunity to further develop both your clinical and leadership skills. You will work with a wide range of presentations, while providing high-quality supervision and support to trainee and qualified Education Mental Health Practitioners, helping them to grow in confidence, knowledge, and skill.
- Clinical Oversight: In this role, you’ll play a key part in shaping and overseeing the clinical work delivered by our Education Mental Health Practitioners (EMHPs), supporting both those in training and those already qualified.
- Quality Assurance: You’ll help ensure that Low Intensity CBT interventions are delivered to a high standard, making a real difference to the mental wellbeing of children and young people.
- Team Leadership: You will provide clinical supervision, guidance, and leadership to colleagues, helping to build confidence, capability, and consistency across the team.
- Service Development: Alongside this, you’ll contribute to the development of clinical and operational processes, supporting the continued growth and effectiveness of the service.
- Whole-School Approach: Our teams also work closely with education settings to promote a whole-school approach to emotional wellbeing. This includes offering consultation, delivering training, and facilitating both small and large group work to support positive mental health for all pupils.
