Band 8a - MHST Senior Supervisor and Locality Lead

The NHS is working with schools and colleges across England to provide expert mental health support for up to half a million pupils a year - part of the Government’s ambitious plans to transform children and young people’s mental health through the NHS Long-Term Plan.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced clinical/counselling/educational psychologist/Family Therapist or BABCP accredited CBT therapist to join the expanding Mental Health Support Teams in Kent & Medway. The post holder will clinically lead and supervise in their area, and also support with the service growth and development.

MHSTs support children and young people, in and near schools and colleges. Each designated MHST supports a population of up to 7,000 children and young people. Kent and Medway have the largest MHST in the country with 12 teams already and 9 more to come.

**MHSTs aims to**:

- Support children and young people with mild to moderate mental health problems through evidence-based interventions
- Support schools in developing their whole school approach to mental health
- Provide timely advice to school staff and to liaise with other services in order to help children and young people get the right help and stay in education.

This is a new post to support the clinical development and service delivery of the Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs) in Kent & Medway. The post holder will be responsible for supporting the delivery of evidence-based CBT interventions in schools/colleges and providing supervision to practitioners in the team. They will also be responsible for supporting schools to develop a whole school approach to emotional wellbeing and mental health using a range of different evidence-based and theoretical approaches (e.g. systemic and attachment theory).

We are looking to recruit someone who is passionate about working with children, families, education staff and the wider school community to provide evidence-based and innovative support for emotional wellbeing and mental health.

We have posts in both East Kent, West Kent and Medway (please discuss preference at interview) Each post holder will cover a defined area of the county e.g Canterbury & Ashford or Medway & Swale or Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells or Dartford, Gravesham & Sevenoaks.

Expertise in the delivery of CBT to children and young people and their families to manage anxiety, low mood and understand behaviour is essential. Experience delivering supervision using a CBT framework is highly desirable, as is experience conducting clinical audits and evaluating research data to inform the delivery and development of clinical services. A professional commitment to the CYP-IAPT principles is essential.

All new starters will join the Trust on the first Monday of each month and will undertake a comprehensive induction of up to two weeks which will include mandatory training, systems training and the allocation of equipment.
