Tonbridge, Kent, United Kingdom Weald of Kent Grammar School Full time

The role of Mental Health Support Worker will form part of our exceptional Student Services team. The purpose of the Student Services Team is to provide key support for the learning and welfare of all Students. Members of the team work at both the Tonbridge and Sevenoaks campuses. The team is led by a Deputy Headteacher and consists of a range of posts including Family Liaison Managers, School Counsellors, school nurses, and Student Services Receptionists.

As a Mental Health Support Worker, you will work closely with our students on a 1:1 basis and in small groups. You will help students to learn and use effective strategies to support their mental health and develop resilience and self-awareness. Working alongside our Counsellors and Student Services Receptionist, you will be part of the wider team supporting students who face difficulties with their social, emotional and mental health issues.

Application Closing Date: Friday 31 May 2024

Shortlist Interview Date: 7/10 June 2024

Early applications are advised as the School reserves the right to appoint at any stage during the application process.

The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post. As this role involves 'regulated activity' with children the successful applicant will be required to complete a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) disclosure application. Employment will be conditional upon the College being satisfied with the result of the Enhanced DBS check and the outcome of all other checks.

The School will also carry out a check of the Children's Barred List on the successful applicant. Applicants should be aware that it is unlawful for the School to employ anyone to work with children if they are barred from doing so, and it is a criminal offence for a person to apply to work with children if they are barred from doing so.

This role is also exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask shortlisted applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
