Job overview
Are you a qualified Education Mental Health Practitioner? Do you have a real passion for education, social, emotional, and the mental wellbeing needs of our young people? Do you want to make a real difference?
We are looking to recruit the right qualified EMHP to be part of our Mental Health Support Teams in Hull. The teams work directly into schools and colleges with children and young people between the ages of 5 to 18.
The teams support schools and the wider system and have a particular focus on a whole school approach, advice, support, guidance, and consultation.
The teams also deliver targeted low intensity CBT informed based 1:1 and group sessions, parent-led workshops, and creative-based interventions to support mild to moderate social, emotional, and mental health needs.
Please only apply if you are a qualified EMHP.
Main duties of the job
The successful candidate, with appropriate supervision, will work as an autonomous and responsible practitioner as their training affords and within the scope of their local job description, to engage in:
* Delivering evidence-based intervention for children and young people in educational settings with mild to moderate mental health problems.
* Helping children and young people within these settings who present with more severe problems to rapidly access more specialist services.
* Supporting and facilitating staff in educational settings to identify and where appropriate manage issues related to mental health and wellbeing.
* Working with and within educational environments to afford better access to specialist mental health services and using the acquired skills, knowledge, and abilities to deliver a service based within educational settings that builds on and reinforces but does not replace those initiatives that already exist within these environments.
* Mentoring trainees and offering peer-to-peer support to other qualified EMHPs.
