Dorset Mental Health Support Teams in Schools (MHSTs) - Senior Clinical Supervisor Opportunity
Dorset Mental Health Support Teams in Schools (MHSTs) are looking for an exceptional Senior Clinical Supervisor to join the service.
This is an exciting leadership opportunity for an experienced clinician who thrives on collaboration, professional development, and service improvement. Working as one of four Senior Clinical Supervisors, you will play a pivotal role in shaping and strengthening supervisory practice, ensuring children, young people, and families receive high-quality, evidence-based, and compassionate support.
You will provide expert clinical supervision, consultation, and leadership to Supervisors and Senior Wellbeing Practitioners, promoting reflective practice, professional curiosity, and confident decision-making. Alongside your supervisory role, you will maintain a small clinical caseload, delivering specialist interventions to children, young people, and families with more complex mental health needs.
This role is ideal for an innovative and motivated professional who is committed to trauma-informed, attachment-aware, and child-centred practice and who is passionate about developing the practice of others.
Please note visa sponsorship for this role is unfortunately not available. Ensure you hold valid right to work in the UK and will not require sponsorship if successful.
You will provide expert clinical supervision, consultation, and leadership to Supervisors and Senior Wellbeing Practitioners across Dorset MHSTs, promoting high-quality, evidence-based, and child-centred practice. Through coaching, mentoring, and reflective supervision, you will support colleagues to confidently manage clinical complexity, safeguarding concerns, risk, and multi-agency working.
