Trainee Education Mental Health Practitioner

2 weeks ago

London, United Kingdom Whittington Health NHS Trust Full time

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 Education Mental Health Practitioner (EMHP) role is an exciting opportunity to deliver evidence-based early interventions, working across both educational settings and healthcare sectors in England.

We are recruiting a trainee EMHP to join Islington’s School Wellbeing Service (SWS). The successful applicants will be passionate about mental health in schools, widening access to services and enjoy inter-agency working.

The successful applicants will join one of our two locality teams in Islington's Schools Wellbeing Service. The teams deliver preventative and early intervention mental health work to all the borough's mainstream schools. This work includes workshops, assemblies, groups and individual interventions with children, young people, family members or school staff, as well as whole-school approaches to mental health.

The post holder will, under supervision, deliver groups, workshops and 1:1 brief therapeutic interventions with young people and/or their parents/carers. Other duties include liaison with school staff, contributing to whole-school approaches for mental health, screenings and assessments, observations, joint working, service development work (e.g. producing new workshops), clinical communication via notes, reports and letters, etc.

Dual Application Process

The SWS is part of the national Mental Health Support Teams initiative, aiming to improve access to help and the general culture of emotional support within primary and secondary schools. This is a great time to join our service. We are a strong, well established friendly team with professionals from a wide range of therapeutic backgrounds and experiences. We are excited about developing the MHST in Islington so that more children and families can receive this vital support at an earlier stage in their schools.

We are committed to supporting EMHPs on their training journey and offer additional training opportunities and reflective spaces to support your wellbeing and further promote your development as a practitioner while working with us. We work in partnership with Whittington Health and LB Islington and as a result you will benefit from opportunities to work collaboratively with other professionals involved in early, preventive support for children and families. We are dedicated to promoting equal opportunities in our employment practice and service delivery. We are keen to recruit applicants that reflect the local community and support them to remain in post.

The training programme for this post will consist of academic and supervised practice learning across mental health services and educational settings, such as primary and secondary schools, and further education colleges.

Delivery of the programme will be provided through a combination of taught days within Kings College London, independent self-guided study days, and experience gained in education wellbeing and mainstream mental health services.

A Trainee Education Mental Health Practitioner will be expected to work under supervision as part of a dynamic mental health team in a creative environment where evidence-based interventions, new ideas, ways of working and supporting children and young people (CYP) are actively encouraged. This approach requires flexibility and adaptability, and above all a passion for working with CYP in educational settings. Over the course of the training year, the post-holder will, under supervision, develop knowledge and practice skills to employ a range of evidence-based interventions for common mental health problems via direct individual and group support for children, young people, and their parents, in line with the university expectations.

**The Trainee Education Mental Health Practitioner role will**:

- Work closely alongside a team of mental health professionals delivering a wide range of evidence informed interventions, under supervision.
- Develop and practice evidence-based skills under supervision to work directly with children, young people, and families.
- Develop and practice evidence-based skills under supervision to carry out holistic and child-centered mental health assessments, including risk assessments.

The Trainee Education Mental Health Practitioner is required to:

- Demonstrate the ability to work at degree level or have an equivalent level of relevant experience, with a proven record of previous learning or formal study in child development, wellbeing, or mental health.
- Experience of working with CYP, their families, and carers.
- Experience of working and liaising with a wide variety of agencies and stakeholders.
- Experience of working with CYP who have social, emotional and/or mental health difficulties.
