Student Mental Health Practitioner
Are you a registered mental health nurse, social worker, occupational therapist, or work in any other Nursing Discipline and looking for a new rewarding role?
The University of Surrey's Wellbeing and Welfare department has a great opportunity for Mental Health Practitioners to join the team and contribute to the student experience.
Role & Responsibilities:
We are seeking a highly skilled mental health professional with experience supporting individuals with complex mental health needs. This fixed-term role is available on a part-time basis (0.8 FTE) for up to 12 months. Working hours can be discussed during the hiring process, with the expectation that the successful candidate will be based on our campus.

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Play a lead role in supporting the service and the wider University to offer proactive and compassionate mental health support to our entire student community.
- Work with the Wellbeing team to develop a service to meet the changing needs of students with mental health concerns to bring about evidence-based improvements to the service provision.
We will consider applications from recent graduates with a current membership of the NMC/Social Work England/HCPC.
Experience in working with eating disorders is desirable but not essential.
