**Introduction to YSJ University**
Situated in the heart of the historic city of York, and with the addition of our London Campus, York St John University has a long and proud tradition as a distinguished higher education provider.
Our success is founded on the quality of academic teaching and research, our thriving campus environments, our professional and pastoral support, and our values of an inclusive, innovative and ambitious community with a strong sense of belonging.
**The Team**
The Student Wellbeing, Disability and Inclusion Service provides support to students via several routes. Comprising of two teams: The Wellbeing Team and the Disability and Inclusion Team, the teams are responsible for delivery of excellent support services to students.
The Wellbeing team have two key areas of responsibility; delivering clinical mental health support to students and ensuring the effective coordination of the University’s response to complex and serious welfare incidents (such as domestic violence, serious assault, etc.). The team is made up of Mental Health Practitioners (Nurses, Occupational Therapists and Social Workers), and qualified Counsellors. We also employ Senior Practitioners and a Complex Case Lead to provide clinical leadership on students with complex mental health needs.
**The Role**
We are looking for a mental health practitioner to join our multi-disciplinary service of counsellors, mental health practitioners, welfare practitioners and disability practitioners who provide a range of supportive interventions for students.
As a clinical mental health practitioner, with a professional registration in mental health nursing, Occupational Therapy or mental health social work, you will be a key member of York St John University’s multi-disciplinary Wellbeing Team. Your role will involve managing and coordinating a caseload of students carrying out mental health assessments, risk assessments, and providing brief interventions to support the mental wellbeing of students.
A key part of the role involves collaborating with other key University services and academic departments/School teams, making and receiving effective referrals to ensure that the support students receive from the wider University is properly coordinated. You will also follow up with internal and external stakeholders following serious student incidents, such as a student being hospitalised or an incidence of serious self-harm, to ensure such cases are properly coordinated across the University.
Other teams will look to you for clear and effective guidance on how to respond effectively to concerns regarding student wellbeing. You will also contribute to the delivery of training across the University to academic and professional services colleagues on how to respond to students in distress, receive and respond to disclosures and de-escalate risk.
