Education Mental Health​/Childrens Wellbeing​/Low Intensity Practitioner

Job Overview

We currently have an exciting opportunity to join our Mental Health Support Team in the Spalding and Grantham area as a qualified Education Mental Health Practitioner/Children's Wellbeing Practitioner/any other Low Intensity Practitioner at Band 5 (Agenda for Change). This is a diverse role, and an opportunity to make a real difference in outcomes for children, young people, and families by offering early support and intervention.

This role will be split between the two teams and is for 8 months fixed term.

The Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs) support children and young people aged 5‑18 within school and college settings who are presenting with mental health or emotional wellbeing problems which are of a low to moderate level of complexity and/or intensity.

You will support several allocated education settings offering support to children and young people and their families. A key part of the role is around implementing Public Health England’s Whole School Approach, part of which will be to deliver training, workshops and assemblies to the wider educational communities and promote awareness of mental health within the educational settings. You must be able to travel sometimes across county and within the outer areas of Spalding.

As an MHST practitioner you will manage a caseload of young people, providing interventions for mild‑moderate mental health needs using Low‑Intensity CBT and other evidence based interventions. You will also lead in implementing the Whole School Approach within your allocated settings by providing regular consultation, advice and training to professionals.

You will receive regular managerial and clinical supervision and clinical skills to support you throughout this role. There will be opportunity to access internal training as well as identification of other development needs via your appraisal.

This is advertised as full‑time post operating Monday to Friday 9am‑5pm, however other working patterns can be considered and base can be negotiated as long as service need is supported.
