Would you like to be part of a new, exciting and innovative service working with young people with an ethos of prevention and early intervention?

In line with the government's priority to increase access and availability of mental health and wellbeing support for children and young people, the new Mental Health Support Teams (named by children and young people in the region as Wellbeing in Mind teams) are an exciting opportunity to deliver evidence-based early interventions for children and young people, working across both educational settings and healthcare sectors in England. We currently have 5 Wellbeing in Mind teams across North Yorkshire, which are embedded within education settings

We are looking to recruit an Education Mental Health Practitioner, the successful candidate will be employed on a full time basis and be part of a team delivering support to schools and colleges in the Harrogate area.

Applicants must have successfully completed the 1year Post Graduate Certificate 'Education Mental Health Practitioner' course.

Main duties of the job

The Wellbeing in Mind team has 3 functions:

  • Support the development of a whole-school or college approach to wellbeing. This can include, but is not limited to, supporting sites to develop and implement mental health and wellbeing policies, development of resources, supporting campaigns and delivering training, assemblies and PHSE curriculum.
  • Provide timely advice and consultation to education staff. This is designed to support teaching staff to build their skills and confidence in supporting the wellbeing needs of their students/pupils. This is offered in both a formal and informal way.
  • Undertake direct assessments and intervention for young people within education. We offer a low intensity service model, predominantly using cognitive-behavioural therapy.

Each function accounts for a third of the team's workload.

Due to the nature of the role it is essential that applicants are able to travel independently across the locality and have access to a suitable vehicle for business purposes. If necessary, adjustments can be considered in accordance with the Equality Act 2010.
