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 will be part of our Derby (Bolsover) 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 removing barriers that delay help and frustrate families.
In this role, you will work closely with a wide range of professionals to ensure children and young people get the right support at the right time. You will develop your skills in CBT-informed supervision, supported by experienced clinicians and a dynamic, values-driven team committed to creativity, inclusion and continuous learning.
We don`t believe in one-size-fits-all services. Our support is shaped by local voices, blending evidence-based practice with innovation and real-world need.
You will begin on a Band E salary, moving to Band F once your training course starts.
This is more than a training role. It is a chance to lead, grow and make a real difference. If that sounds like your next move, we would love to hear from you
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, 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.
