Overview
Would you like to be involved in developing an innovative CBT service delivering support directly to the school environment?
In line with the government’s priority to increase access and availability of mental health and wellbeing support for children and young people, it is an exciting opportunity to deliver evidence-based early interventions for children and young people, working across both educational settings and healthcare sectors in England.
Responsibilities
We are looking for confident CAMHS professionals with experience delivering CBT-based interventions who are keen to develop their skills in providing evidence-based interventions to children, young people and parents both within schools and in CAMHS clinic settings. You will have a demonstrable track record of providing collaborative and supportive interventions with children, young people and parents/carers. The post holder will contribute to CPD of trainee education mental health practitioners (EMHPs), supervision of junior staff, contribution to community development and attendance at education forums such as SENCO and DSL forums. The post holder will require a high degree of professional autonomy and self-management and will be required to account for their professional practice through appraisal and audit. There is also the expectation of attending the supervisors course based at the University of Reading unless already attained.
Qualifications and Skills
You will have professional registration within your chosen profession, for example CWP or EMHP, with practical experience post-qualification. The community served is multi-ethnic and culturally diverse, and we welcome applicants who are skilled at working with the richness and complexity of this multicultural context.
Environment and Development
We offer an exciting and dynamic environment where your ideas for service development and your career development will be valued. You will be supported directly by senior colleagues.
Mission and Values
Our mission is to make a positive difference to peoples lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve.
