Ilford, United Kingdom London Borough of Redbridge Full time

**Trainee Educational Mental Health Practitioner**

**Full Time, Fixed Term for 2 years**

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. EMHPs work as part of newly emerging Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs).

Our MHST sits within a well-established Educational Psychology Service (EPS). **Redbridge is an ambitious, diverse and exciting east-London borough. What we do is driven by changing our relationship with local people to support our vision. As a result, we've developed innovative ways to build our communities and transform our council.**

This is an exciting time to join us as we expand our offer to reach more schools and partners, providing opportunity to form new relationships with educational settings, as well as continue our established relationships with schools.

The training programme for this post is 12 months in duration and 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 UCL in collaboration with The Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families, experience gained through working in Redbridge MHST and independent self-guided study days.

A Trainee EMHP will be expected to work under supervision as part of a dynamic 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 will**:

- Work closely with EPs in schools 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.
