MHSTs will serve clusters of schools, providing high quality and responsive mental health services to children and young people and their parents/carers, in accordance with Children and Young People’s Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (CYP-IAPT) principles.

We also work with schools to develop or enhance their whole school approach to emotional health and wellbeing and mental health.

- Work closely alongside a team of mental health professionals delivering a wide range of evidence informed interventions. This will include working one to one and delivering groupwork interventions.
- Use evidence-based skills to work directly with children, young people and families.
- Carry out holistic and child-centred mental health assessments, including risk assessments.
- Work within designated schools, developing relationships with the Mental Health lead in the school. Offer consultation on possible referrals to the service.
- Work within the safeguarding protocols of the schools.
For this role you will need:
- Passion and commitment for working with children and young people
- Understanding of children and young people’s mental health
- Knowledge of school systems
- Commitment to undertaking study at postgraduate level
- Strong organisational skills
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 with Sussex University, independent self-guided study days and experience gained in education settings.
