About The Role
About The Role
Are you ready to take the next step in your mental health career and become a future leader in children and young people’s services? If you`re passionate about empowering young people to thrive and want to grow your practice in a truly supportive environment, this is your opportunity to shine.
As a Trainee Supervising Practitioner, you`ll play a vital role in our Derby Mental Health Support Team (MHST) an innovative programme transforming how young people access early mental health support. Our MHSTs focus on prevention, early intervention, and making support easy to access, removing barriers that delay help and frustrate families.
In this role, you`ll work closely with a wide range of professionals to ensure that children and young people receive the right support, in the right place, at the right time. You`ll develop your skills in CBT-informed supervision, supported by experienced clinicians and a dynamic, values-led team committed to creativity, inclusion, and continuous learning.
We don`t believe in one-size-fits-all approaches. Our services are shaped by the voices of the communities we support, blending evidence-based practice with innovation and collaboration to meet real-world needs.
This is more than just a training role…it’s a chance to influence, lead, and grow. If you`re motivated by meaningful impact and eager to build your future in children and young people’s mental health, we`d love to hear from you.
Be part of something amazing. Help shape the future of mental health, one young person at a time.
About You
You`re ready to commit to a demanding but deeply rewarding opportunity, combining postgraduate study with real-world clinical experience. You`re passionate about early intervention and ready to grow into a role that shapes the future of mental health support for children and young people.
To succeed in this role, you will need:
* A core professional or clinical qualification (e.g. EMHP, CWP, PMHW, Mental Health Nurse, Social Worker)
* Evidence of continued professional development
* A Postgraduate Certificate in Supervision (or willingness to complete it during the role)
* Two years post-qualification experience working therapeutically with children and young people
* Experience of line management and/or delivering clinical supervision
* CBT-informed supervision experience, ideally within education settings
* Experience in community and/or educational environments
* Strong safeguarding and risk management skills
* Excellent leadership, communication, and time management abilities
* Flexibility to work year-round as part of a dynamic, responsive team
* A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle
Desirable attributes include postgraduate therapeutic qualifications, mentorship experience, and prior leadership within children and young people`s services. Experience inducting staff or contributing to skill-mix teams is also beneficial, but not essential.
If you`re ready to lead, learn, and leave a lasting mark on young lives, this could be your next step.
