Job Overview
The Mental Health Support Team is an early intervention service designed to support Cornwall's primary schools in their efforts to address Children's Mental Health.
The MHST support worker role is an exciting development to expand our reach and increase the number of schools we can support. The role will cover a designated area of Cornwall (i.e. Carrick / Penwith) and the ability to travel to schools in these areas is an essential requirement.
Please be aware that unfortunately relocation support is not available for this role.
This is a community-based role that requires frequent travel to various locations throughout the county including areas that may not be accessible by public transportation. Successful candidates will need to demonstrate how they will manage these travel requirements.
Advert
Support workers will work closely with our qualified staff to deliver specific targeted intervention to schools. A significant amount of group work practice is envisaged and full support and training will be given to enable workers to deliver a selected range of psychoeducational or supportive interventions. Initially this work will be jointly delivered but over time the support worker will feel equipped to deliver these interventions independently.
Regular supervision will be offered as will opportunities for involvement in project work.
