This is a great time to join WSCC as we have new opportunities for Senior Mental Health Practitioners in Thought-Full: Mental Health Support Team.

In this role, you will work closely alongside Advisory Teachers and senior members of the Thought-Full team, as well as with multi-disciplinary teams, outside agencies, clinicians, and other mental health and education professionals, to help develop and deliver the Thought-Full core functions to the schools in your area.

You will deliver clinical skills and caseload management supervision to Educational Mental Health Practitioners (EMHP) and Children's Wellbeing Practitioners (CWP), supporting with their training and role modelling best practice.

You will also hold a caseload of young people with mild to moderate mental health problems, where you will deliver a variety of brief evidence-based interventions, primarily using a CBT model. You will use your skills and knowledge to provide specialist advice on mental health to ensure services are working closely to meet the needs of young people with a person-centred approach.

As part of this role, you will be required to complete the PGCert Supervision of Therapeutic Practice at the University of Sussex to be able to supervise EMHPs and CWPs employed within MHSTs.

Key responsibilities of the role include:

About You

We are looking for someone who is passionate about supporting the mental health of children and young people and who is self-motivated and organised, as you will need to manage your own workload and that of others.

Integrity, openness, emotional resilience and an awareness of yourself and others is vital, as you may be dealing with distressing or emotional circumstances.

Please note:

  • There is a regular and intrinsic requirement to communicate in English with members of the public.
  • You must be able to travel throughout the county including to locations that are not always accessible by public transport. You will need to be able to travel independently to carry out assessments, and there will be periodic physical requirements to the role.

About Us

Our Mental Health Support Team is made up of over 60 professionals, and we are continuing to increase our service to support the growing needs of our communities.

We currently have opportunities for Senior Mental Health Practitioners to make a real difference in supporting Mental Health in Children. You will be working within our Mental Health Support Team (MHST) on exciting new initiatives and an important strand of the Government's 2017 Green Paper 'Transforming Children and Young People's Mental Health Provision'.

We fulfil 3 core functions:

  • Supporting the senior mental health lead in each education setting to introduce or develop their whole school or college approach to mental health and emotional wellbeing.
  • Delivering evidence-based interventions in education settings (primary and secondary schools and colleges) for mild to moderate mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.
  • Giving timely advice to school and college staff, and liaising with external specialist services, to help children and young people to get the right support and stay in education.

For more information, please visit our Education, Children and Families page on our West Sussex County Council (WSCC) website.
