The Community CAMHS Service within Nottinghamshire supports Children, Young People and their families where there are emotional and mental health needs.

This is an exciting opportunity to be involved in a new and exciting Mental Health Support Team (MHST) within the Community CAMHS service, as a joint initiative between health and education.

Permanent full time role available in the Broxtowe MHST.

We are looking to recruit a specialist practitioner to work within our project schools across various locality teams in Nottinghamshire County to deliver early intervention support and treatment within identified schools.

The MHST works closely with and alongside staff in education settings to support the mental health and wellbeing of young people, their families and teachers.

The Mental Health Support Team (MHST) is a new and evolving service which is available in certain schools in the Nottinghamshire areas. Nottinghamshire Healthcare have been a trailblazer site for the Mental Health Support Team project and have hosted the first operational MHST nationally in December 2019.

We are an early intervention wellbeing service aimed at providing support for children young people and families around low-level emotional wellbeing needs, such as anxiety, low mood, managing emotions, and sleep. We link in directly with Nottinghamshire CAMHS teams and provide ‘in school’ sessions to promote a positive mental health.

We have a huge variety of opportunities in our expansive Trust covering geographically from South Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire to Leicester, providing mental health inpatient and community services, community health services, forensic mental health services and secure prison healthcare across the East Midlands.

Then Nottinghamshire Healthcare is the perfect place for you to start, maintain or further your career. Join our team of nearly 9000 who are making a difference every day. We are all about our people - our staff, volunteers, carers, service users and patients. "We are NottsHC".

The role of the Specialist Practitioner within the area of the Nottinghamshire project will include one to one and group work. There will also be opportunity to develop the whole school approach and provide advice, guidance and support to staff in education.

The interventions delivered will be brief and focussed on early intervention.

The schools included in this project will have a designated Mental Health Lead, who can refer directly into the service. We work closely alongside these staff as we support them in creating a whole school approach to mental health.

You will work with a variety of agencies to ensure a quality service is provided. You will work alongside more junior members of the team, to deliver parent, well-being and 1:1 sessions. There will also be a duty element to the role, alongside facilitating drop-in sessions within schools.
