Do you want to be part of an exciting, dynamic and expanding children’s & young people’s Mental Health service, in an ‘Outstanding’ rated NHS Trust? We are looking for people who are as passionate about high quality, early intervention mental health care as we are.
The role is an exciting opportunity to deliver evidence-based early interventions for children, young people and their families, working across both Educational and Healthcare settings.
You will receive training in delivering Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) informed guided self-help for mild to moderate mental health problems. You will gain (funded) Diploma at the University of East Anglia, whilst working clinically within either a new or established Mental Health Support Team (MHST).
If the child is primary school aged, clinical work will mostly be with parents/carers. If the young person is secondary school aged, the clinical work will mostly be with the young person. You will work closely with education settings, supporting with their ‘Whole School Approach’ to Mental Health.
You will be employed on a full time one year training contract, Band 4. Upon successful completion of the training year (passing UEA & service requirement), a permanent Band 5 EMHP contract will be offered.
This is a two-part interview process, both parts must be attended for consideration for successful appointment.
Part 1, either: 4th, 5th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 15th, 16th, 18th, 19th September
Part 2: 24th September *all day
Successful candidates will be employed by Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust who deliver MHST services across Cambridge and Peterborough
During the training year, post holders will participate in 64 University days. The method of delivery is likely to be a blend of face-to-face learning (requiring travel to the University of East Anglia in Norwich) and online delivery.
Successful candidates will be employed on a full time one year training contract at Agenda for Change (AfC) Band 4. Upon successful completion of the training year (passing both UEA requirements and service requirement), a permanent AfC Band 5 EMHP contract will be offered.
All applicants must demonstrate in their application the ability to work at degree level or have an equivalent level of relevant experience, with a proven record of previous learning or formal study in child development, wellbeing, psychology, mental health or education.
Furthermore, experience of working with children and young people and an understanding of the educational system in England is highly desirable. All applicants must be able to demonstrate they can balance the conflicting demands of academic study and clinical work.
