Aspiring Mental Health Practitioner

United Kingdom Academics Ltd. Full time

Are you passionate about helping children who have experienced trauma, to reach their full potential?

This Aspiring Mental Health Practitioner role will give you experience working with vulnerable and at-risk students, increasing their engagement, attainment and life chances.

You will support children with special educational needs, and a range of associated social, emotional and mental health challenges and traumas. Some children will have suffered adverse childhood experiences, and you will identify their risks and needs, escalating where necessary.

A common feature for many children with complex needs is a history of marginalisation and disadvantage, trauma, dysfunctional family relationships, low educational attainment and stigmatisation. Subsequently they face many barriers in life and are more ‘at risk’ of negative outcomes. You will be instrumental in providing consistency, and equipping children with tools to ensure they feel safe, secure, empowered, and that they can succeed in life.

This is a challenging role and any previous experience in a relevant field would be advantageous, but is not essential. Training, support and CPD is required in order for you to perform your duties and to ensure safeguarding of all children.

Ideal for a Psychology, Sociology and Criminology graduates, this role will give you good practical experience with SEN students and within the mental health sector, before taking your next step.
