Trainee Education Mental Health Practitioner

3 weeks ago

Huntingdon, United Kingdom Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust Full time

Do you want to be part of an exciting, dynamic and expanding children’s mental health service, in an ‘Outstanding’ rated NHS Trust?

We are looking for people who are as passionate about high quality, early intervention mental health care as we are.

The new Trainee Education Mental Health Practitioner (EMHP) role is an exciting opportunity to deliver evidence-based early interventions for children, young people, and their families, working across both educational and healthcare settings.
- Receive training in delivering Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) informed guided self-help for mild to moderate mental health problems. They will gain their (funded) Diploma at the University of East Anglia, whilst working clinically within either a new or established Mental Health Support Team (MHST) in Cambridgeshire.
- Be employed by Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust where the MHST’s are located. During the training year, post holders will participate in 64 University days. The method of delivery is likely to be a blend of face-to-face learning (requiring travel to the University of East Anglia in Norwich) and online delivery.
- Be employed on a full time one year training contract at AfC Band 4. Upon successful completion of the training year (passing UEA requirements and service requirement), a permanent Agenda for Change Band 5 EMHP contract will be offered.

For further details, please see the Main Duties and Responsibilities below...

In January 2020, Cambridgeshire Community Services (CCS) NHS Trust launched two MHST’s in Huntingdon and Cambridge. A further six MHST’s have been launched since then, with two more planned, bringing our total to 10 MHST’s by 2024-2025. In 2023, CCS also became the provider of six existing MHSTs in Norfolk and two new MHSTs in Norfolk.

This is in collaboration with NHS England, Health Education England and the Department for Education, following on from the 2017 Green Paper Transforming children and young people’s mental health provision. This is a roll out of the work to improve access to mental health care for young people set out in the NHS Long Term Plan.

You will join a supportive service that already has sixteen other MHST’s across Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and Norfolk, so a ready support system is available. The MHST’s sit within CCS NHS Trusts Emotional Health and Wellbeing Service.

Rated ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission, we are proud to provide high quality innovative services across most of the east of England that enable people to receive care closer to home and live healthier lives.

There’s one reason why our services are outstanding - and that’s our amazing staff - who, for the seventh year running, rated us incredibly highly in the national staff survey.

**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-centred 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
- Demonstrate their experience of working with children and young people, their families and others
- Demonstrate their experience of working and liaising with a wide variety of agencies and stakeholders
- Have experience of working with children and young people who have social, emotional and/or mental health difficulties

As a Trainee Education Mental Health Practitioner, you 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 are actively encouraged. This approach requires flexibility and adaptability, and above all a passion for working with children and young people 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 MHSTs work with education settings to provide help to staff in schools and colleges on their ‘Whole School Approach’ (WSA) to mental health.
