This is an exciting opportunity for qualified Education Mental Health Practitioners (EMHP) or Child Wellbeing Practitioners (CWP) to join a school-based service in Surrey.
We invite you to consider being involved in this opportunity to contribute to the government's vision of integrated mental health teams in schools, as outlined in the NHS Long Term Plan.
Each MHST is co-located within a carefully selected group of schools in their Borough of Surrey. Currently, we have established teams in all 11 boroughs: Epsom, Spelthorne, Reigate and Banstead, Elmbridge, Surrey Heath, Woking, Runnymede, Guildford, Waverley, Tandridge, and Mole Valley.
Vacancies
We currently have a vacancy in the Woking team, based at Unither House, Chertsey.
The post-holder will work within an MHST as part of the wider School-based Need team, delivering high-quality, brief, outcome-focused, evidence-based CBT interventions for children and young people experiencing mental health difficulties. This role involves working in schools and community locations. It is suitable for someone passionate about early intervention to support children, young people, and their families in managing mental health and emotional wellbeing to enable them to thrive.
