The post holder will join the Health Improvement Division which is part of the Health and Wellbeing Directorate in Public Health Wales. The Division is developing a programme of work which supports implementation of the statutory Framework ' _Embedding a whole-school approach to emotional and mental wellbeing _' (Welsh Government, 2021). This programme is part of the Health Improvement Division's wider Mental Wellbeing Public Health Programme and includes several streams of work. One of which is the development of a 'what works toolkit' which aims to help schools implement the Whole School Approach to Emotional and Mental Wellbeing Framework by supporting them to choose interventions and resources that best meet the needs of staff and learners.

This national role will contribute to development and maintenance of the Whole School Approach What Works Toolkit. The post holder will work with the Consultant in Public Health for Mental Wellbeing, Principal Public Health Practitioners, wider team members, and stakeholders, to synthesise, translate and share knowledge and evidence, to improve population wellbeing and reduce inequalities in Wales.
