We are looking to recruit a new Clinical and Team Lead to support selected schools in Breckland and across Norfolk.

Are you ready for a new challenge and a real opportunity to make a difference?

Are you interested in working in early intervention services in child and adolescent mental health services? MHST's are based within schools, ensuring children and young people receive faster access to early mental health support.

We welcome enquiries about this post for more information, so please do get in touch.

In this role you will implement the provision of a high-quality Early Intervention service to students (and their families) experiencing mild to moderate mental health difficulties.

You will lead and manage the team in delivering evidence-based interventions to support the recovery of young people referred to the service.

This work will be in accordance with clinical governance processes and professional standards.

You will be able to Safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people/vulnerable adults and have a good understanding of the safeguarding agenda.

The role requires appreciation of the significance of safeguarding and interprets this accurately for all individual children and young people whatever their life circumstances.

You will ensure the 'voice of the child/young person' is pivotal in all aspects of clinical practice and development. Co-production will underpin the MHST's.

As well as being part of our own Norfolk and Waveney Children and Young People's Health Services you will also work with system partners across the localities.
